[Insight-users] How to set Arbitrary Center of Rotation

[Mike Jackson]

Thanks for the help. I do understand conceptually what needs to be
done how ever transforming that into code is another feat to do. I'll
take another look through the ITK users guide to see what code
examples I can come up with.

Cheers
Mike
