[vtkusers] Real-time polydata filtering

[Nil Goyette]

Hi Francois,

I haven't tested the standard vtk tools because:
- I already have a working and fast filtering class. I got the indices, 
now I want to see the change on the screen!
- I'm working with big files (500k to 2 millions lines, sometimes more) 
so I strongly doubt that real-time is possible if I keep creating data. 
The output can easily reach thousands lines or more. I don't see how 
this could be done 20+ times per second.

That's why the first thing I try is playing with the mapper. I'm not 
creating anything, I'm simply hiding things.

Thanks for the links, I'll try what you suggest when I run out of ideas.
