Summary	0003896: OpenIGTLinkIF module : binding missing
Description	c++ method vtkMRMLIGTLConnectorNode::RegisterIncomingMRMLNode(vtkMRMLNode* node) is not wrapped in Python (although RegisterOutgoingMRMLNode is). It is really annoying because I would like to use Python to set OpenIGTLink connections
Tags	No tags attached.

jcfr 2014-11-18 08:19 administrator ~0012704	Hi Vincent, The method is not wrapped because it returns an object of type "NodeInfoType*" See https://github.com/openigtlink/OpenIGTLinkIF/blob/41b5b183e6e1ef4ecd028c71c0b88e5f41dd5b70/MRML/vtkMRMLIGTLConnectorNode.h#L260 Few option to move forward: refactor OpenIGTLinkIF to use type known by VTK wrapper improve VTK wrapped to that it could understand hint / be extented to understand other type ..

lassoan 2017-06-09 21:20 developer ~0014703	Users don't need to call vtkMRMLIGTLConnectorNode::RegisterIncomingMRMLNode, it is for internal use only, by OpenIGTLinkIF module. If a module wants to create a node that will be updated through OpenIGTLink, then create a node with the expected node name and type. When OpenIGTLinkIF module receives data that matches node name and type, it will automatically reuse the existing node.
