[Insight-users] VTK&&ITK

[Kishore Mosaliganti]

hi Wen,

I initially just tried to find examples online or in the tests and copy the
usage of classes and then use the online documentation as an additional
help/clarification.

But after doing that for a bit, I got comfortable looking at the online
documentation as a primary source of information rather than searching for
examples. If something doesn't work, then looking at examples shows anything
critical that you didn't do right.

I think some user contributed dump of example codes will certainly help
newbies in using open-source toolkits since its easy to copy and paste
initially.
