[Insight-users] Is an ITK for Dummies planned?

[Bill Oliver]

I was just reading through the ItkSoftwareGuide and noticed
a couple of things.  The first is that it is well-written.
Congratulations.  The second is that it is aimed at a very
sophisticated audience.

Consider the following paragraph:

"Pixel spacing is measured between the pixel centers and can
be different along each dimension.  The image origin is associated
with the coordinates of the first pixel in the image.  A *pixel*
is considered to be the rectangular region surrounding the dirac
delta holding the data value.  This can be seen as the Voronoi
region of the image grid, as illustrated in the right side of the
figure.  Linear interpolation of image values will be performed
inside the Delaunay region whose corners are pixel centers."


(Page 51)


The good thing about this documentation is that it is precise,
direct, and unambiguous.  If the average reader has a MS in
Comp Sci, this would be perfect.

However, it *does* mean that the reader has to know what
a Dirac delta is, what a Voronoi diagram is, and what
Delaunay triangulation is.  If the reader does not, this
paragraph is incomprehensible.

I know that, a long time ago, there was some talk about
writing an "ITK for Dummies" book.  Was that ever done?
