Summary0015314: WriteToOutputStringOn() not working in vtkSTLWriter
DescriptionA CMake project demonstrating this issue can be found here:
https://github.com/hrobeers/VTK_StlWriteToStringIssue [^]

The detailed description can be found in the README file, or below:


# StlWriteIssue
This repository contains code to reproduce an issue with writing an STL file to a binary string.


## The issue
To make the vtkSTLWriter object write to a string instead of a file, the following method is called:
WriteToOutputStringOn().

When calling the Write() method, vtk produces the following error message: "vtkSTLWriter (0x823bac0): Please specify FileName to write".
Why should a FileName be specified when writing to a binary string?

The GetOutputString() method returns a null pointer, so vtkSTLWriter didn't write to the OutputString.


## How to reproduce?
Run the following scripts in the current folder:

$ ./build.sh

$ ./run.sh


## Details
Tested on:

- Arch Linux
- vtk-5.10
- gcc 4.9.2

 It's very confusing that vtkSTLWriter doesn't support the full vtkWriter interface without any documentation or NotImplemented exception.
