[vtkusers] Writing Pictures

[Jorrit Schaap]

Try this:

yourRenderWindow->SetOffScreenRendering(1);

then make the picture with the vtkWindowToImageFilter etc...

and then call:

yourRenderWindow->SetOffScreenRendering(0);

so you have your renderwindow back on your screen.

This should be platform independent.
