	I don't know if I misunderstood concept of offscreen rendering,
but I thought 

	that it's such kind of rendering where no image window pops out
when I start

	image rendering. Is there any way to tell vtkWin32OpenGLImage
window to

	not show when I call render method for first time or there's no
hope to get away

	from that?
