        output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored

Outputs:

out_file: (a file name)
        output fused segmentation file

>>> template.inputs.out_file = 'T1.nii'
>>> template.cmdline  
'mri_robust_template --satit --average 0 --fixtp --mov structural.nii functional.nii --inittp 1 --noit --template T1.nii --subsample 200'

>>> template.inputs.transform_outputs = ['structural.lta', 'functional.lta']
>>> template.inputs.scaled_intensity_outputs = ['structural-iscale.txt', 'functional-iscale.txt']
>>> template.cmdline    
'mri_robust_template --satit --average 0 --fixtp --mov structural.nii functional.nii --inittp 1 --noit --template T1.nii --iscaleout structural-iscale.txt functional-iscale.txt --subsample 200 --lta structural.lta functional.lta'
