[vtkusers] vtkImagePlaneWidget crashes after a second load of data

[Dean Inglis]

Hi Flo,

vtkImagePlaneWidget does not use reference counting
when you set the input image data: it maintains a
pointer to the input, so that if what the pointer
points to changes (in terms of memory) you can get
an access violation or a crash.  What you can do
to work around this is to turn off the widget BEFORE
you load your data, set it's input to NULL, then
load your new data and turn the widget back on.

Dear all:
after few hours of work I found that the problem is related to my  
RenderWindowInteractor affected to the vtkImagePlaneWidget . In fact,  
if I create two different windows with two separate  
RenderWindowInteractor and if I change the RenderWindowInteractor  
while loading the second data set, everything is fine.

However, I still don't know what is wrong as, while reloading, I  
clean ever actors and volume in the renderwindow ---
I'm wondering is there is not a leak/undeleted reference to the iren  
in the vtkImagePlaneWidget code .... Any help is appreciated !

Flo.
