Loading TCL Wrapping

For fast starting BRAINS does not load the ITK wrapping. If the user wants the ITK wrapping then the BrainsGlue package needs to be loaded

 brains3% package require BrainsGlue

Finding an ITK Command

 brains3% info command itk*ImageFilterISS3*_New

If you know the name of the ITK filter and simply want to know what types have been wrapped the following command will work

 brains3% info command itk<FilterName>I*_New

If you want to what methods exist for an ITK filter, then use something similar to the following command. The exact instantiation will depend on the filter that you are interested in.

 brains3% set filter [itkBinaryThresholdImageFilterIF2IUC2_New]
 brains3% $filter Help
