I meant "why did you have to ask," not "why did you ask." Obviously, this is a friendly list, and all questions VTK are welcomed...

<div>If you mean why did I ask, then it's because I couldn't find the answer - which implies that while it's a simple solution, maybe it's not a common problem. I kind of knew what the issue was, but didn't know the fix.</div>

<div>I don't think vtkSTLWriter itself needs any change - but I do think that some of the wiki code examples would really benefit from not being quite as lean and mean as the functions they're explaining. It's the sort of thing that could be included in the code example as just a comment.I</div>
