[vtk-developers] easy way to delete points

[Huang, Ming-Ern (MU-Student)]

Is there an easy way to delete points from a mesh.  I read data from PLY file format.

I just want to get rid of the faces that use the point.  The current way I'm using is reading the file that's

in PLY format into a vertices array and a faces array



and then using pointpicker to pick the point.  And then getting the point.

Then I try to find which point on the mesh was picked.

Then I try to eliminate all the faces that use that point.

Then rewrite the PLY file.

Then read the PLY file back into vtkPLYReader.



This seems way too much effort.



Is there a library I can use that will do this for me?
