[Insight-users] FEMRegistrationFilter: SetFixedFile vs. SetFixedImage

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Joe,

The SetFixedFile() method just sets the internal variable m_FixedFileName.

That variable, turns out to not be used at all inside this filter.

This is probably a legacy of a design flaw in this filter, confounded with the
fact that before it was put in to the toolkit, it was mostly used as a stand
alone application.

The unused method, however, can't be removed at this point, due to our
Backward compatibility policy.  We can however, document this method
as "Deprecated".

Please, simply use the SetFixedImage() method.



     Thanks for pointing this out.


             Luis
