[vtkusers] vtk PLY reader errors

[Anderson chidi Apunike]

Hi VTK developpers, 

I am currently using vtkPLYReader class to load some polygonal objects. 
I convert a txt file into a ply file  (ascii format) with Python. When I try opening the ply file with VTKplyreader, it returns the following error: 

ERROR: In ..\..\VTK\IO\vtkPLYReader.cxx, line 125 
vtkPLYReader (000000000483BDE0): Cannot read geometry 

When I try opening the same PLY file that I created usinga software caled MeshLab, it opens the file in Meshlab, showing all the points. 

I am confused at this point, not knowing what to do about it. 

Here's part of my file. It has 266 vertices, but I reduced them to 15.It has no faces. It only has vertices with their respective x, y,z coordinates. 

ply 
format ascii 1.0 
element vertex 15 
property float x 
property float y 
property float z 
element face 0
