While doing this, I realised that I can obtain my desired XML data format if I can overload the function <br>vtkXMLWriter::WriteArrayFooter(...)<br>vtkXMLWriter::WriteArrayInline(...),<br>vtkXMLWriter::WriteInlineData(..).<br><br></div>Currently they are not declared as virtual function and hence the overloading will not work. I can do that by modifying the original vtk class and build my VTK library based on the changes. But these hacks will be gone once I update my VTk source codes.<br><br></div>My question is the following :<br>Is it possible to make these function virtual in future releases? Except the vtkXMLWriter class there is no other implementation of those functions, but they are being used by vtkXMLPolydataWriter since the latter is inherited from the base class.<br><br></div>I am curious to know what is the thought here.<br><br></div>Thanks,<br></div>Chiranjib<br></div>
