Detailed Description

read Stanford University PLY polygonal file format

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 vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

static 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 vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

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 vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

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

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

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 vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

static vtkPLYReader* vtkPLYReader::New  )  [static]
 

Construct object with merging set to true.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

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.

int vtkPLYReader::RequestData vtkInformation ,
vtkInformationVector **  ,
vtkInformationVector
[protected, virtual]
 

This is called by the superclass. This is the method you should override.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.
