Detailed Description

read Stanford University PLY polygonal file format

Date:

2002/01/22 15:38:18

Revision:

1.6

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]

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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro 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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource.

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

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 vtkPolyDataSource.

vtkPLYReader* vtkPLYReader::New (    )  [static]

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

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.
