Hi ,  
I had a scripting procedure that was using SimpleITK 0.10.0  
marker\_img = sitk.ConnectedComponent(peak, fullyConnected=True) , where peak is an image 0 , 1.  
The sitk.ConnectedComponent was run correctly with no errors.

Now I’m using SimpleITK 1.1.0 and the same command does not work anymore  
TypeError: ConnectedComponent() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘fullyConnected’

I have tried to read the manual but i did not find any useful suggestion.  
Is the command change? and if yes which is the new syntax?

Thank You  
Sincerely  
Giuseppe

Hello Giuseppe,

The syntax hasn’t changed, it is a problem/feature of SWIG and needs to be addressed there.

When we overload a function, named arguments don’t work. The [ConnectedComponent](https://itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/namespaceitk_1_1simple.html#a55cfd9d5f7f425ca8092d63f0d3bdc81) function has two variants now.

The solution in your case is to provide all arguments based on location (use the default values for those you didn’t provided in the past).
