[vtkusers] vtkOBJReader not reading the whole mesh

[Tony Yuan]

Hi Sebastien,

The js loader works fine, but I couldn’t get the same behavior in C++. I tried to see if the reader has multiple outputs, but objReader.getNumberOfOutputPorts() returns 1.

I am interested in getting the mesh as a vtkPolyData, is there a way I can do that with OBJImporter? There seems to be no GetOutput function like OBJReader.
