### Description

This example shows how to enlarge an image and fill in the padded edges by mirroring the original pixels.

### CMakeLists.txt

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

    PROJECT(ImageMirrorPad)

    find_package(VTK REQUIRED)

### Download and Build ImageMirrorPad

Danger

The generation of tar files has not been ported to the new VTKExamples. Some tarballs may be missing or out-of-date.

Click here to download ImageMirrorPad and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball ImageMirrorPad.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

    cd ImageMirrorPad/build

If VTK is installed:

    cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

    cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./ImageMirrorPad

WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time.
