Re: updating vtkimagedata in animation.

Hi Shadab,

When you directly modify data in VTK, it is necessary to call Modified() on
the data container or else the pipeline will not update.

For vtkImageData, the voxel values are stored in an array that can be
retrieved as follows:

    data->GetPointData()->GetScalars()

So when you modify voxels, you should also do the following:

    data->GetPointData()->GetScalars()->Modified();
    data->Modified();

It's been a while since I've done anything similar myself, so there might
be other Modifed() calls that are necessary.

Cheers,
   David
