<span><div><div>Dear steve,<div><br></div><div>That's a very good point.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, we saw the warning. We have implemented a very simple test for the robustness, which actually test both normal ITK, and the new code with 4 points lying on circle, and adding an arbitrary small number to the 4th point coordinate, and we could not find a platform where this was a problem. We tried linux with gcc 4.2, mac with both gcc and clang, and windows (xp, 7) with MSVC 2005, 2008 and 2010.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, that does not mean there is no problem. If you had a good test to exhibit this problem, we would be happy to implement it in the module, and modify the design accordingly if needed. We just haven't found the need yet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Again, this is a very good point, and you might want t omake a short, quick review of the paper on Insight Journal to point this out.</div><div><br></div><div>thanks again,</div><div><br></div><div>alex.</div>

In my past experience with this code, this has always been the<br>
trickiest part of using it -- especially in a portable manner. I'm<br>
curious about your plan to handle this, especially in a<br>
general-purpose library like ITK.<br>
