FW: [vtkusers] vtkAppendPolyData

[R K Shyamprakash]

Further to my previous mail, the problem is not with vtkAppendPolyData but
with vtkSTLWriter itself. I tried reading a .stl file and rewriting it with
vtkSTLWriter(and doing nothing else). the original file size was 9MB. but
the size of the file written with vtkSTLWriter is 36 MB. what could be the
problem?




Hello,
          In my application I use vtkAppendPolyData to join two polydata.
but I see that this increases the file size by great extent when I write the
joined data into a file. The size of the original .STL file is 10 MB. I cut
the model into smaller parts and again join them by vtkAppendpolyData, then
write the data back into .stl file, the file size is nearly 100MB. How to
solve this problem. Please help.

Thanks
Shyam
