Hi Eleftherios,

Just considered this one today:

Do we have an implementation of functions that take a non-linear transform
and streamlines and warp the streamlines through this transform? Or should
we implement something like this? As it is now, the
DiffeomorphicMapping.transform method (and the functions that get called
under the hood there) take a 3D or 2D image as input, but it should be
fairly straightforward also enable these functions to take lists of
streamlines and operate on these instead. Is this something that already
works?

Cheers,

Ariel
