Hi Ashish,

What ITK version are you using ?

We made some recent changes to the VNL adapted optimizers
in order to make them report iterations.

If you update to the CVS version of ITK, you should get
iteration events from the optimizer.


Please let us know if you still find any problems.


   Thanks


    Luis
