[vtkusers] Fwd: ] update,interact and render in different threads

[Antonio Fortino]

Thank you Andrew i had forgotten that isolated ComputerRGB().

Forgive me i wasn't clear, but i added the observer to the celldata to
render every time the cells are updated, and the interactions callbacks
handle just the mutex to prevent the cells updates while i'm interaction.
Is there another way to do ?

Thank you again for your help.
