[vtk-developers] proposition: disabling interaction in vtk3DWidgets, API addition

Dear list,

Would it be possible to add an abstract virtual method to the vtk3DWidget
base class that can be used to enable/disable interaction for a 3D widget?
Many of the widgets offer ways to "drive" them programmatically, so it's
very possible that there might be situations where one wants to (at least
temporarily) deactivate user interaction on a specific 3D widget without
disabling the whole widget.

As an example consider the vtkImagePlaneWidget:  This is useful both as a
purely visual (i.e. one-way) and as an interaction widget.

Any thoughts?
Charl
