[vtkusers] reading ascii files

[de Boer Ingo]

Hi,

> I am trying to read a 3d file containing ascii data.
> Can you suggest how to go about it.

// Read some 3d points.
FILE *datei = fopen(argv[1],"rt");

vtkPolyData *data = vtkPolyData::New();
vtkPoints *points = vtkPoints::New();
	
int iCounter = 0;
while (!feof(datei))
{
 fprintf(stdout,"reading points: %i\r", iCounter);
 float x, y, z;
 fscanf(datei,"%f %f %f\n", &x, &y, &z);
 points->InsertPoint(iCounter++, x, y, z);
}
data->SetPoints(points);
fclose(datei);
fprintf(stdout,"\n\n");


greets 
  Ingo
