[vtkusers] Changing model while interacting

[Anderson Maciel]

Thanks K, but I already tried threads like this:

//>>>>>>>>
MyThread *th = new MyThread( sphere2, renWin );
 printf( "starting thread... \n" );
 th->Start( NULL );
 printf( "thread running. \n " );

 MyInteractor->Start();
//<<<<<<<<

The execution never reaches the printf below th->Start, and so, MyInteractor
is never started.

In the thread code I have a looping that run continuously in order to modify
an actor position:

//>>>>>>>>
while( 1 ){
  sphere->SetCenter( x+=delta, 0, 0 );
      if( x >= 5 ) delta = -0.01;
      if( x <= 1 ) delta = 0.01;
 }
//<<<<<<<<

A.
