//
//  In order to initialize deformable registration algorithme it is often
//  convenient to generate a deformation fields from a set of feature
//  correspondances provided by the user. The following example illustrates how
//  to use the \doxygen{itkDeformableFieldSource} class in order to generate a
//  deformation field from the specification of two sets of landmarks.
//  Landmarks from one set are associated one-to-one to the landmarks in the
//  other set. Each landmark pair defines one deformation vector. This class
//  interpolates the values of all other deformation vectors using
//  \doxygen{KernelBasedTransform}
//
