[vtkusers] Read .vtk file and save as binary STL file

[kenichiro yoshimi]

Hi Swetha,

Assuming that your data is a triangle polydata set, all vtkSTLWriter
have to do is set the file type to binary, so as to output as binary
STL file. You don't need to call WriteBinarySTL(). Ex:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkSTLWriter> stlWriter =
  vtkSmartPointer<vtkSTLWriter>::New();
stlWriter->SetFileName(filename.c_str());
stlWriter->SetInputData(polyData);
stlWriter->SetFileTypeToBinary();
stlWriter->Write();

Thanks
