// .NAME vtkXMLMultiGroupDataWriter - Writer for multi-group datasets
// .SECTION Description
// vtkXMLMultiGroupDataWriter writes (serially) the VTK XML multi-group,
// multi-block hierarchical and hierarchical box files. XML multi-group
// data files are meta-files that point to a list of serial VTK XML files.
