vtkWriter - abstract class to write data to file(s)

Description:

vtkWriter is an abstract class for mapper objects that write their data to disk (or into a communications port). All writers respond to Write() method. This method insures that there is input and input is up to date. Since vtkWriter is a subclass of vtkProcessObject, StartMethod(), EndMethod(), and ProgressMethod() are all available to writers. These methods are executed before and after execution of the Write() method. You can also specify arguments to these methods.

Caveats:

Every subclass of vtkWriter must implement a WriteData() method. Most likely will have to create SetInput() method as well.
