Point clouds can be added to the project graph from GUI import as either: CloudList or CloudGraph. The supported file formats are:
PLY: with vertices, and possibly edges, and faces. If imported as CloudGraph, the edges and faces will be linked to the vertices Points with refinement edges.
XYZ: simple x, y, z format. Each line starts with three values x y and z, separated by spaces, coma, or semi column. All additional values in the row will not be considered.
Point clouds can be loaded from RGG code with:
// This do the same as the GUI menu>import from file importNodeFromFile( "/path/to/file/leaf1.xyz", "mimeType/astext"); // This load the Node into a variable but do not adds it to the graph Node x = loadNodeFromFile( "/path/to/file/leaf1.xyz", "mimeType/astext");
The possible mimetype to use are (replace the “mimeType/astext” by):
model/x-grogra-pointcloud-graph+ply : for PLY file and CloudGraph
model/x-grogra-pointcloud-graph+xyz : for XYZ file and CloudGraph
model/x-grogra-pointcloud-array+ply : for PLY file and CloudList
model/x-grogra-pointcloud-array+xyz : for XYZ file and CloudList
