◆ read_PLY() [1/2]

template<typename Graph , typename NamedParameters = CGAL::parameters::Default_named_parameters>
bool CGAL::IO::read_PLY ( const std::string &  fname,
Graph &  g,
const NamedParameters &  np = parameters::default_values() 
)

#include <CGAL/boost/graph/IO/PLY.h>

reads the graph g from a file named fname, using the Polygon File Format (PLY).

The data is expected to represent a 2-manifold (possibly with borders).

  • Type: a class model of WritablePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<Graph>::vertex_descriptor as key type and Point_3 as value type
  • Default: boost::get(CGAL::vertex_point, g)
  • Extra: If this parameter is omitted, an internal property map for CGAL::vertex_point_t must be available in Graph.

  • Type: a class model of WritablePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<Graph>::face_descriptor as key type and CGAL::IO::Color as value type
  • Default: face colors that may exist in the input will be ignored

  • whether extra information is printed when an incident occurs during reading
  • Type: Boolean
  • Default: false
Returns
true if reading was successful and the resulting mesh is valid, false otherwise.
