[vtkusers] PLY Reader..

[K.R.Subramanian]

Anyone used this class to read PLY files recently. I keep getting the following
error on trying to read a ply file..

************
ace% clippoly simple2.ply
get_binary_item: bad type = 0
ace%
*******************

I am able to convert this ply file to Inventor format and view it using an Inventor
viewer, so
the format seems to be fine.. is there anything you need to do in the vtkPLYReader other
than set the name of the ply file and send it down teh pipeline?

The header fo the PLY file looks as follows:

ply
format binary_big_endian 1.0
comment created by iso
element vertex 12507
property float32 x
property float32 y
property float32 z
property float32 nx
property float32 ny
property float32 nz
element face 24803
property list uint8 int32 vertex_indices
end_header


Thanks.
