```
public class SoSTLWriteAction
extends SoCallbackAction
```
Class for exporting a scene graph to an STL file. This class exports an Open Inventor scenegraph into an STL format (.stl) file.
ASCII and binary file formats are supported (see setBinaryOutput() method).
Limitations:
- The STL format does not support color or texture information
  (and this class does not support any of the non-standard extensions for specifying color).
- The application is responsible for checking if the specified file can be created (see SbFileHelper).
