From: Jim Wise Date: 2013-03-31T06:43:36+09:00 Subject: [ANN] ply 0.9.1 Released --=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ply version 0.9.1 has been released! * * * * Ply is a ruby gem for reading Stanford PLY-format 3D model files. The PLY file format is a flexible format for storing semi-structured binary data, and is often used to stored polygonalized 3D models generated with range scanning hardware. You can find some examples of the format at the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository. Ply provides a simple API for quick access to the data in a PLY file (including examining the structure of a particular file's content), and an almost-as-simple event-driven API which can be used to process extremely large ply files in a streaming fashion, without needing to keep the full dataset represented in the file in memory. Ply handles all three types of PLY files (ascii, binary-big-endian and binary-little-endian). If you don't have any Stanford PLY files on hand, you probably don't need this gem, but if you're curious, the PLY file format is described at Wikipedia[2].=20 [1] http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/ [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_(file_format) Changes: ### 0.9.1 / 2013-03-30 * Documentation improvements =2D-=20 Jim Wise jwise@draga.com --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (SunOS) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRV1x8AAoJEIwgZoIS2AGgNvgP+wWpdKHipO146KBwbky5Vyj1 kKU7gyZjFXni8DdFD2t+AQQvMEbKKQ2p0lWelpGt0YhvH7v6Evm+QPpoHSdbDz4d kSOr3v51CdPh+PCr/G3A+a0ZpilcWlFq5OO/x4QJEYFqiqt0UGK+KzOKVGOqIqbX 5H7tBtHcYQlfdMBPaxfsVRIJ18Gw33A0y+t+2DJIs2I1MikrB6B/azmSYGAdnYP0 fT0gJAHmMYXtfRE7McT/ANbepGbzwSFaNlz+J9JkzWJnJrED98IEmzeA2fhE5PgB LTTetMWlYWRV5phu7g7SLPQixcXNbbCxU7epN35d0jcKeWY0ZbCHGR+25c1iZDdv fH+K6xW8zHSqPf9vDa5P3pwxKclUjEvkT8KxPaHNmNHIKkhVHe1J7tSApZ2Ee9Ym a7LSpdNrMs7qzbKiXQ82V5XCf7+03QT8IbJ/0BknM+r/htaVxSIOkFPGQVhl56/B eVgnZKTo5hzctIx8vOUKEeM8fV2TudwALDJA43D+2cyyp4gIyyqWxrlXGwyC9kzC Usd6SyL74YAUaj+15uP54gxdDd0kTMBXUiBUYh/aQTZ4Fl36vRX5ArD9/vynQceS 8yhIHD/La007+wa7vlndvZQmkqUxQsCIekDYg0WjAH4ZP/HUF/hHm5VutQrlc63L N80eLUVaZlOvCnYgvvXR =zmF/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
