<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Utkarsh,</div><div><br></div><div>I forgot something in my last e-mail, sorry. Maybe if a revision of the ply reader is needed we can add to the issue that at this moment paraview is not able to read a ply without cells. For instance the file attached in the Mathieu's e-mail. It is a file that contains xyz and rgb information. This file is possible to read in meshlab without any pre-processed but not in paraview (I need to add the filter provided by Mathieu). I do not know if this is complex. What do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Albert</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2018-04-25 17:15 GMT+02:00 Albert Mosella-Montoro <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:albert.mosella@upc.edu" target="_blank">albert.mosella@upc.edu</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Utkarsh,<div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Looking at the PLY reader in VTK, it looks like it doesn't support<br>

If your data is just a collection of points with fields, a simple CSV<br>
maybe be easier than PLY. After opening a CSV, you can use the "Table<br>
To Points" to interpret the rows as points with fields associated with<br>
them.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>In fact I am working like this at this moment. I would like to move to ply files but if at this moment is not possible I will wait.</div><span class=""><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Also, what does a PLC format look like? It may be possible to use a<br>
Python programmable filter to directly reader in the PLC without any<br>
conversion if the format is simple.</blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Sorry I wrote wrong the format is not plc is pcd. I think is very similar to ply <a href="http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcd_file_format.php" target="_blank">http://pointclouds.org/<wbr>documentation/tutorials/pcd_<wbr>file_format.php</a>. In my case insted of X Y Z RGB I will have X Y Z DX DY DZ fields. </div><div><div><br></div><div>The motivation of the change to ply or pcd is because ply or pcd have a bin version of the files and I am looking for a standard bin file that paraview can manage. Can you recommend me any binary file that paraview can manage without issues with custom parameters like on my case?</div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Albert</div></div></div></div></div>
