[vtkusers] Disable rendering without blanking out screen

[Doug Hoppes]

Is there a way to disable a rendering without having the screen turn white?  I tried using the vtkRenderer::EraseOff()/vtkRenderer::DrawOff() and this works great with not performing the rendering.  However, for the viewports where renderers that were turned off, the screen is white.  When I turn the  erasing/drawing back on, the image is restored.

I thought that the eraseoff would just leave the scene alone.
