Can't slice binary PLY files

Question

Opened this issue 6 years ago · 2 comments

examples/ply.py seems to only work with ASCII PLY files, not with binary PLY.

That's right and the parser is pretty minimal. I found python-plyfile which claim to support text & binary ply. I haven't tested it though.

I think it's better to use an already existing library if possible than writing a new ply binary parser from scratch.

If the number of dependencies is a problem, it seems python-plyfile is a single file, so you could just copy/paste this in your project
