Detailed Description

This class serves as an abstract base class for a ply file reader. A ply reader is supposed to be supplied to the function read_ply to customize the process of reading a ply file. A PlyReader is used in the following way,

1. Header is read and parsed into elements and properties in read_ply.
2. read_ply will call PlyReader::on_read.
3. read_ply will then call PlyReader::read to do the actual reading.

Note

You should use the CommonPlyReader class to read the most common ply format.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void Euclid::PlyReader::on_read ( const PlyHeader &  )

inlinevirtual

This function is called right after the header specification is retrieved from the file. Override this function if you wish to do some preprocessing before reading the ply body, e.g. allocating space for buffers.

Reimplemented in Euclid::CommonPlyReader< VN, FloatType, IndexType, ColorType >.
