General information about programming in VTK and ITK:

* Two books are available to learn VTK. The ''VTK User's Guide'' describes in detail how to work with the software. ''The Visualization Toolkit An Object-Oriented Approach to 3D Graphics'' is a higher-level theory book that describes important data structures and algorithms used in VTK. Both books can be purchased through [http://www.kitware.com/products/vtkguide.html Kitware] or [http://www.amazon.com Amazon.com].

* A complete, online [http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf PDF Software Guide] for ITK is available. Printed books can be purchased from [http://www.kitware.com/products/itkguide.html Kitware] or through [http://www.amazon.com Amazon.com]. The theory book ''Insight into Images: Principles and Practice for Segmentation, Registration, and Image Analysisis'' is available from [http://www.akpeters.com/ AK Peters] and Amazon.com.

* Yale University has developed extensive documentation as part of a course on medical imaging with VTK.  The [http://www.bioimagesuite.org/vtkbook/index.html full text] is available on line.
