+### Print ITK Module Loading
+
+# It can be useful to see how ITK modules are being loaded in order
+# to understand module dependencies. `itk.auto_progress` can be used
+# to increase verbosity of module loading and filter printouts.
+
+import itk
+
+# Enable module loading printouts
+itk.auto_progress(2)
+
+# Load a filter from a module with several dependencies
+_ = itk.ForwardFFTImageFilter.values()[0].New()
+
+# Disable printouts
+itk.auto_progress(0)
+
+# Do work
