string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkXMLPDataWriter = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkXMLPDataWriter = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
obj.SetNumberOfPieces (int ) - Get/Set the number of pieces that are being written in parallel.
int = obj.GetNumberOfPieces () - Get/Set the number of pieces that are being written in parallel.
obj.SetStartPiece (int ) - Get/Set the range of pieces assigned to this writer.
