[vtkusers] User interaction while rendering.

[Andrew Maclean]

I have a relatively complex scene which consists of a several large complex
objects and a vehicle moving over it.
Currently I have a data class that constructs the objects and creates
assemblies.
Then I have a viewer class that links adds the assemblies to the renderer.
Finally a display class (data and view are members of this class) that moves
the vehicle over the scene and renders it.

Is it possible to thread it so that the user can interact with the scene
while the vehicle is moving? My problem seems to be that I can't start
the render window interactor  until the vehicle has completed all its
movements. There is also the (VTK) constraint in that Render() can only be
called from the main thread (the one that created the vtkRenderWindow).
Has anyone a simple example?
