The same problem accounts for Step 8.

The tutorial steps use the Volume Rendering of MITK core, which is (probably) not used in any other plugins. The errors disappear as soon as we use the MITK-Ext Volume Rendering.
However, a long-term solution should be discussed e.g. whether we want to set the core volume renderer as deprecated and use the MITK-Ext Volume Rendering instead etc.

This bug could not be fixed for release 2013-06. Setting target milestone to next release

Hi all,

I am using the git version of MITK compiled with visual studio 2008. Unfortunately, I cannot run tutorial step3 successfully. The message I got is as follows:

0.15 core.io.imgFileReader: loading C:\Library\MITK\Build\CMakeExternals\Source\
MITK-Data\Pic3D.nrrd via itk::ImageIOFactory...
0.17 core.io.imgFileReader: ioRegion: ImageIORegion (00000000001AE7C0)

Dimension: 3

0.21 core.io.imgFileReader: ...finished!

0.28 core.io.sfcReader: Loading C:\Library\MITK\MITK\Modules\MitkExt\Testing\Data\lungs.vtk as vtk

I think the bug is related to http://bugs.mitk.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=14882, although I did not even see the vtkOutputWindow. But I've seen similar outputs when running Step4. I guess the volume rendering is not working in tutorial step3. The try...catch failed around the following location:

// Set the property "volumerendering" to the Boolean value "true"
node->SetProperty("volumerendering", mitk::BoolProperty::New(true));

// Create a transfer function to assign optical properties (color and opacity) to grey-values of the data
mitk::TransferFunction::Pointer tf = mitk::TransferFunction::New();
tf->InitializeByMitkImage ( image );

Could you please take a look?

Problem occurs in mitkHistogramGenerator.cpp, line 87:
AccessByItk_n( timeSelector->GetOutput() , InternalCompute, (this, m_Histogram));
