[vtkusers] how to send a vtk object through network

[Song Li]

Hi,

  I am working on a network application which need to send a "vtkActor" by socket, but

using "sizeof" I found that the "vtkActor" object itself only has 220 bytes, and it contains

ASCII information about this "vtkActor" object's properties, so how to send the "real"

data ?? is there any handy function call or I need to work with those ASCII infos???

  Thanks in advance!!!
