To print the class name for any vtkobject in python use:
print obj.GetClassName()

Indeed the VTK online doxygen is very useful. Is there any way in python
of getting the name of the class of the object I'm dealing with ? That
way I can find the class documentation in the Doxygen ?
Thanks again,
Jacques

There is probably a python way to get help more easily, but one way to
figure it out is to look at the VTK doxygen documentation for
vtkDataObject and it's subclasses, and realize that all (or almost
all) of the public C++ methods are wrapped into python and therefore
available to use.
cheers,
Dave
