write-ply

Writes a PLY file to a stream

Example

var writePLY = require("../write-ply.js")

writePLY({ vertex: { x: [0, 0, 0], y: [1, 1, 0], z: [0, 1, 1] },
           face: { vertex_index: [ [0, 1, 2] ] } }).pipe(process.stdout)

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
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
