Hello Miguel, Welcome to the MITK mailing list.
Your questions touch some advanced topics. Please see my comments below.

I would strongly advise against modifying the MITK project directly. Most likely, you will get synchronization issues later when you want to update to a newer MITK code base. We have seen these problems already in third-party projects. MITK as a toolkit is quite flexible and extensible, and MITK based applications (for example the "MITK Workbench") are build from the ground up with extensibility in mind. While you certainly could develop your own rendering system, this will not be an easy task (unless your scope is very limited, trying to solve a special case). You might also loose a couple of benefits provided by MITK, depending on the level of customization. Maybe you could elaborate more on your needed features in the rendering system so we might be able to help you in the decision/design process. Note that MITK already uses ITK and VTK data structures and VTK mapper to render these data structures. > Or, at least, modify the viewing windows system (number of views, > rendering techniques, etc) ? Modifying the frontend (number of views etc.) is totally possible and done in some existing projects already. New rendering techniques are usually implemented as new "mapper" classes in MITK (based on VTK code) and attached to a certain data type to render it in a special way. > Lastly, from what I have been reading in MITK webpage, it seems to be > simple to develop plugins.
