[vtkusers] How to close an open vtk-Window by program-code

[André Prins]

Dear David & Rainer,

I have had success with calling Finalize() on the RenderWindow. What I
usually do is wrap a RenderWindow and Interactor in a simple
viewer-class, which can be constructed on the stack and which has a
"close" method. In there I simply call window->Finalize(). However I
just tried it on your CloseWindow example... It does close/remove the
window, but the event-loop keeps running.

Regards,
Andre
