API

require("write-ply")(data[, options])

Writes a JSON representation of a PLY file to disk.

• data is a JSON encoded PLY file. It must have two fields:
  • vertex an object containing the properties of the vertices
  • face an object containing the properties of the faces
  • comments an optional array of comments to add to the header
• options is an optional object containg separate flags. In addition to the usual options you can set on a Readable stream, you can also set the flag binary which tells whether to use a binary format or ascii.

Returns A readable stream that you can pipe to wherever you want encoding the contents of the PLY file
