Dear Matthew,

thanks for the fast response.

Given center point at voxels (2, 3, 4) so that:

  T = [[1, 0, 0, -2],
       [0, 1, 0, -3],
       [0, 0, 1, -4],
       [0, 0, 0, 1]]

and calculating Tinv.dot(Z).dot(R).dot(T).

Would an extra translation

  T_extra = [[1, 0, 0, -7],
             [0, 1, 0, 7],
             [0, 0, 1, -8],
             [0, 0, 0, 1]]

after the rotation be implemented as

Tinv.dot(Z).dot(R).dot(T).dot(T_extra)

or can it all be done at once with one T:

  T= [[1, 0, 0, -9],
      [0, 1, 0, 4],
      [0, 0, 1, -12],
      [0, 0, 0, 1]]



Also I'd like to ask how to implement the multiplication it in Python?

I know there's scipy affine_transformation on the one hand, and also  
the affine_tarnsform funtion in nipy, but I'm not sure how to use them.

Shall I give them the affine matrix  
Tinv.dot(Z).dot(R).dot(T).dot(T_extra) or it's inverse?

best regards,
Stefan
