DESCRIPTION

   USAGE:
              ConvertTransformFile dimensions inputTransfromFile.ext outputTransformFile.ext [OPTIONS]

   COMMAND:
              Utility  to  read  in  a transform file (presumed to be in binary format) and output it in various
              formats. Default output is legacy human-readable text format.  Without  any  options,  the  output
              filename extension must be .txt or .tfm to signify a text-formatted transform file.

              OPTIONS:

       --matrix, -m

              Output  only  the transform matrix (from transform::GetMatrix() ) to a text file, one row per line
              with space-delimited  values.   Only  works  for  transforms  of  type  identity,  translation  or
              MatrixOffsetTranformBase and its derived types.  The output filename must end in '.mat'.

       --homogeneousMatrix, --hm

              Output  an  N+1  square  homogeneous  matrix from the transform matrix and offset.  Only works for
              transforms of type identity, translation or MatrixOffsetTranformBase and its derived  types.   The
              output filename must end in '.mat'.

       --RAS, --ras

              Combined  with  the 'matrix' or 'homogeneousMatrix' options, this will convert the output into the
              RAS coordinate system (Right, Anterior, Superior).  Otherwise, the output is in the LPS coordinate
              system (Left, Posterior, Superior), which is used by ITK. RAS is used, for example, by Slicer.

       --convertToAffineType

              Convert the input transform type to AffineTransform using the transform's matrix and  offset,  and
              output  again as as a binary transform file.  This is useful for using transforms in programs that
              do not register all available Transform factory types.
