ITK/Tutorials/DOs and DONTs

PipeLine

• Do call Update() before using the pipeline output!

Image Creation

• On a New()'ly -manually-created image, do initialize the pixel values if you expect them to be so!
  • Example: image->FillBuffer(0); // initialize it to all dark

Coding Style

• Beware of #define CONST_VALUE_NAME 3
  • If itk is using CONST_VALUE_NAME somewhere, your compile-time (& frustration) could grow unreasonably until you find what is hidden behind some long forgotten #define in a long-forgotten .h. Example:
    • #define Dimension 2
    • #include itkTooManyFilesToList.h
