ply2tri

NAME

ply2tri - extract data from a 'ply' file or stream and send it to a triangle cloud

SYNOPSIS

ply2tri [-p INT|--precision INT] [-?|-h|--help]

DESCRIPTION

ply2tri extracts data from a 'ply' file or stream and sends the data to a triangle cloud. Duplicate points are merged. If the ply data contains no face, ply2tri can be used to extract the points, but the header must explicitely mention that there is 0 face. If it is not the case, edit the file header: add the following lines before the line 'end_header':

> element face 0

> property list uchar int vertex_indices

ply2tri takes its input from the standard input and returns the result to the standard output.
