These plug-ins implement loading and saving of simple triangular meshes from and to various file formats.

#### Plugins:

datapool off ply stl vista vtk

##### datapool

Virtual IO to and from the internal data pool

Recognized file extensions: .@

##### off

plugin to load/store some Geomview OFF files. Supported is only the ASCII format 3D meshes with normales and per-vertex RGB colors. Alpha values and texture coordinates, as well as per face properties are ignored. Polygons are read and triangulated.

Recognized file extensions: .OFF, .off

##### ply

##### stl

STL mesh io plugin

Recognized file extensions: .STL, .stl

##### vista

Vista/Simbio triangle mesh input/output support

Recognized file extensions: .-, .V, .VMESH, .v, .vmesh

##### vtk

A subset of VTK mesh in-and output: Triangle meshes are written, and triangle meshes and triangle strips are read. Additional per-vertex attributes are supported: 'normals', 'colors' for three component colors, and 'scale' for a scalar value attached to each vertex. The data is written by the vtkPolyDataWriter in binary format.
