[Insight-developers] ITK 3.10 : Turning ITK_IMAGE_BEHAVES_AS_ORIENTED_IMAGE = ON by default

[Luis Ibanez]

More on this topic,

The methods

      TransformPhysicalPointToIndex
      TransformIndexToPhysicalPoint

are templated by the coordinate representation type of the
Point<>, and therefore these methods can not be made virtual.

At this point, the best option seems to be to move the conversion
methods between Point, Index and ContinuousIndex to the base class
(itk::ImageBase) and remove all their duplicated implementations
from the derived classes:


     itk::Image
     itk::OrientedImage
     itk::LabelMap
     itk::ComponentTree


Then we need to figure out flags for making possible to force the
itk::Image to display the buggy behavior required by the backward
compatibility policy.
