[ITK-users] FEMRegistration

[Martin Genet]

Thanks a lot, Matt. I'm still a little confused though. I can access the 
mesh using:
> typedef itk::fem::FEMObject< 2 > MeshType;
> MeshType::Pointer mesh =  registrationFilter->GetInputFEMObject();

However, when trying to create a writer using
 > typedef itk::MeshFileWriter< MeshType > MeshWriterType;
 > MeshWriterType::Pointer meshWriter = MeshWriterType::New();
, it complains that InputMeshType (itk::fem::FEMObject< 2 > I guess) is 
missing a lot of stuff (e.g., RegionType, PixelType, GetPoints, etc.).

If I use
 > typedef itk::Mesh< float, 2 > MeshType;
instead, I can define the writer, but then I can't access the mesh from 
the registration filter of course.

Is there a way to write registrationFilter->GetInputFEMObject() into a 
vtk file? Thanks again, and sorry again for the confusion.
