[ITK-users] Integrate new .h and .txx file as a part of ITK Framework

[Francois Budin]

Hello Siming,

Indeed, in the example that I shared with you previously, the TPS transform
is computed independently. If you want to use this class in the
registration framework, you will most likely have to update the old code
available in the Insight Journal article to make it compile with the newest
versions of ITK.

Best,
François
