Summary0012121: STL reader internationalisation screws up
Descriptionin the vtkSTLReader.C you use the fscanf method for parsing.
The problem is that on operating systems where the decimal point is a comma instead of a point, this messes up everything as the STL format itself is not country dependant..
I think it would be best to enforce the locale for the fscanf in order for VTK / ParaView to be able to load STLs in different country OS.
Steps To ReproduceInstall VTK / ParaView on German or French Linux OS.

Does the problem still occur with VTK 5.10 ? VTK 6 ?

Would be great if you could submit a patch using Gerrit. For more details see http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git/Develop [^]

Thanks
