[vtkusers] Localization problem

[Tim Thornton]

This is Windows standard behaviour. Your location properties in Windows (set via region and language 
properties in control panel) say use a "," for the decimal point in strings. The VRML export code is almost 
definitely using the standard Windows functionsto write numbers, and picks up the format from the localisation 
settings on your PC.
Ideally the code should be rewritten to always use a ".", but failing this you could temporarily change the 
number formatting for your region.
Regards,
Tim Thornton

Hi again.

I have tried using writers instead of exporters and the problem is still 
there.
