Hi, I asked this on the SWIG mailing list, but it's pretty dead over there...
I'm trying to get Python to pass a subclass of a C++ object to another
C++ object...

I have three C++ classes,

TiledImageSource

ZoomifyReaderWx  which ISA  TiledImageSource

TiffWriter which has a method which takes a TiledImageSource

reader = bright.ZoomifyReaderWx()
writer = bright.TiledTiffWriter()
writer.SetImageSource(reader)  <- doesn't work, error below.

TiffWriter has a SetImageSource method that takes a pointer to a
TiledImageSource.
When I try to pass an instance of ZoomifyReaderWx to TiffWriter, SWIG
can't hook the two up.

How can I fix this?  I think I need a typemap, but I'm not sure of the syntax.

Thanks!
-Jim


Test script
----------------------------

reader = bright.ZoomifyReaderWx()
reader.Open("C:/Slides/test.pff")

writer = bright.TiledTiffWriter()
writer.SetImageSource(reader)
writer.CreateFile("C:/Slides/test.tif")

while not writer.IsFinished():
   writer.ProcessABit()
   print ".",

Exception
----------------------------
