This change makes plot generation asynchronous so the UI stays responsive during potentially expensive calls into
openmc.lib. It introduces a background worker thread forid_map/property_map, queues plot updates, and updates the view when results are ready. A status‑bar busy indicator provides feedback while plots are generating. Let me know what you think!
