[vtk-developers] ENH: vtkSTLWriter - customization of header

[Pokutnev, Pavel (GE Energy Services)]

Utkarsh,

Yes, if you need I can provide some example. But I think, you can use "42400-IDGH.stl" from VTKData for this purpose.

Here is a simple test case:

vtkPolyData* data = vtkPolyData::New();

vtkSTLReader* r = vtkSTLReader::New();
r->SetFileName("42400-IDGH.stl");      // header is "LYMB generated SLA File"
r->SetOutput(data);
r->Update();
r->Delete();

vtkSTLWriter* w = vtkSTLWriter::New();
w->SetFileTypeToBinary();
w->SetFileName("42400-IDGH-test.stl");
w->SetHeader("MY STL HEADER TEST");
w->SetInput(data);
w->Update();
w->Delete();

data->Delete();

The new Header in "42400-IDGH-test.stl" must be now "MY STL HEADER TEST" instead of "Visualization Toolkit generated SLA File".

Thanks,
Pavel

Pavel,

Is it possible to provide a sample dataset to test the same?

Thanks
