  // Description:
  // If automatic image caching is enabled, then the image will be cached
  // after every render with a DesiredUpdateRate that is less than
  // this parameter.  By default, the vtkRenderWindowInteractor will
  // change the desired render rate depending on the user's

  // vtkRenderWindowInteractor::DesiredUpdateRate and
  // vtkRenderWindowInteractor::StillUpdateRate for more details.)

  // to date, that is returned to avoid grabbing other windows.

  // a warning is emitted.
  // It is must be called before the first Render to be effective, otherwise
  // it is ignored.

  // Description:
  // When set to true (default is false), paintEvent() will never directly trigger
  // a render on the vtkRenderWindow (via vtkRenderWindowInteractor::Render()).
  // Instead, it starts a timer that then triggers the render on idle. This, in
  // general is a good strategy for cases where Render may take a while with
  // applications wanting to report progress and consequently trigger paint
  // events on other widgets like progress bars, etc.
  // There is one caveat: when paintEvent() is called using a redirected paint device,
  // then this flag is ignored and the paintEvent() will trigger
  // vtkRenderWindowInteractor::Render(), if needed.

  // to dirty.

  // Description:
  // This signal will be emitted whenever the cached image is refreshed.

public Q_SLOTS:
  // Description:
  // This will mark the cached image as dirty.  This slot is automatically
  // invoked whenever the render window has a render event or the widget is
  // resized.  Your application should invoke this slot whenever the image in
  // the render window is changed by some other means.  If the image goes
  // from clean to dirty, the cachedImageDirty() signal is emitted.
  void markCachedImageAsDirty();

  // Description:
  // If the cached image is dirty, it is updated with the current image in
  // the render window and the cachedImageClean() signal is emitted.
