[vtk-developers] Possible bug for string output in vtkXMLPolyDataWriter

[joaoroberto88]

Hi Devs,

I'm using vtkXMLPolyDataWriter to record a poly data as string in a
database. I noticed that is mandatory to set the output file name (which
doesn't make sense for a string output). Below is my code:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkXMLPolyDataWriter> writer =
vtkSmartPointer<vtkXMLPolyDataWriter>::New();

writer->SetFileName("MeshPolyData");
writer->SetInputData(this->polyData);
writer->WriteToOutputStringOn();
writer->Write();
    
return QString::fromStdString(writer->GetOutputString());

If I remove SetFileName method call, an exception is thrown.

Could anyone confirm this?
