vtkSTLWriter - write stereo lithography files

Super Class: vtkPolyDataWriter

Description:

vtkSTLWriter writes stereo lithography (.stl) files in either ASCII or binary form. Stereo lithography files only contain triangles. If polgons with more than 3 vertices are present, only the first 3 vertices are written. Use vtkTriangleFilter to convert polygons to triangles.

 

Caveats:

Binary files written on one system may not be readable on other systems. vtkSTLWriter uses VAX or PC byte ordering and swaps bytes on other systems.

 

Methods:

void vtkSTLWriter ()
static vtkSTLWriter *New ()
const char *GetClassName ()
void WriteData ()
void WriteBinarySTL (vtkPoints * ,vtkCellArray *)
void WriteAsciiSTL (vtkPoints * ,vtkCellArray *)
