// .NAME vtkRenderingSerializationHelper - Concrete serialization helper for
// Rendering package.
// .SECTION Description
// Concrete class for serialization of vtkObjects in the Rendering package using
// vtkXMLArchiveWriter and vtkXMLArchiveReader. Only serialization of
// vtkCamera (and its subclasses) is currently implemented.
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkSerializationHelperMap vtkSerializationHelper

  // This member registers ALL the classes supported by this helper with the

  // vtkSerializationHelperMap
