Current vtkPLYReader does not allow reading files that do not contain faces (i.e. files with only points or points+normals). It simply quits with an error "Cannot read geometry". I modified this class to allow this type of file to be read, along with making the error output a bit more specific in the case that there actually is a problem. In the process I think the whole section that searches for properties became a bit clearer - as previously it was all embedded in a single if statement.<br>
<br>Here is the new along with a patch and a couple of test ply files:<br><a href="http://www.rpi.edu/~doriad/VTK_List/vtkPLYReader_Patch/">http://www.rpi.edu/~doriad/VTK_List/vtkPLYReader_Patch/</a><br clear="all"><br>Thanks,<br>
