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.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkPLYReader::GetClassName (    )  [virtual]

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

int vtkPLYReader::IsTypeOf (  const char *    type )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

virtual int vtkPLYReader::IsA (  const char *    type )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

vtkPLYReader* vtkPLYReader::SafeDownCast (  vtkObject *    o )  [static]

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

void vtkPLYReader::PrintSelf (  ostream &    os, vtkIndent    indent )  [virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes. Reimplemented from vtkSource.

vtkPLYReader* vtkPLYReader::New (    )  [static]

Construct object with merging set to true. Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

virtual void vtkPLYReader::SetFileName (  const char *    )  [virtual]

Specify file name of stereo lithography file.

virtual char* vtkPLYReader::GetFileName (    )  [virtual]

Specify file name of stereo lithography file.

void vtkPLYReader::Execute (    )  [protected, virtual]

This method is the old style execute method Reimplemented from vtkSource.
