MATLAB functions to read and write 3D data PLY files by Pascal Getreuer 2004 Files in this archive: cow.ply ply.htm plyread.m plywrite.m readme.txt (this file) PLY is a file format for exchanging 3D data like meshes and 3D scans. This archive contains two MATLAB M-file functions to read and write 3D data PLY files, "plyread.m" and "plywrite.m". For details on the PLY format and links to PLY resources, see the included "ply.htm" HTML file. A sample PLY file, "cow.ply", is included to demonstrate the "plyread.m" function.
