Import ascii or binary PLY files.
Reads Polygon File Format (PLY) files and stores the results in an object of class "mesh3d" - momentarily only triangular meshes are supported.
vcgPlyRead(file, updateNormals = TRUE, clean = TRUE)
file |
character: file to be read. |
updateNormals |
logical: if TRUE and the imported file contais faces, vertex normals will be (re)calculated. |
clean |
logical: if TRUE, duplicated and unreference vertices will be removed. |
Object of class "mesh3d"
with:
vb |
3 x n matrix containing n vertices as homolougous coordinates |
normals |
3 x n matrix containing vertex normals |
it |
3 x m integer matrix containing vertex indices forming triangular faces |
material$color |
Per vertex colors if specified in the imported file |
from version 0.8 on this is only a wrapper for vcgImport (to avoid API breaking).
