vtkPLYReader
Section: Visualization Toolkit IO Classes
Usage
vtkPLYReader is a source object that reads polygonal data in
Stanford University PLY file format (see
http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep). It requires that
the elements "vertex" and "face" are defined. The "vertex" element
must have the properties "x", "y", and "z". The "face" element must
have the property "vertex_indices" defined. Optionally, if the "face"
element has the properties "intensity" and/or the triplet "red",
"green", and "blue"; these are read and added as scalars to the
output data.
To create an instance of class vtkPLYReader, simply
invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkPLYReader
