3.9 Using ptcview
ptcview
displays a point cloud file in a window(13).
The generl command line syntax is:
ptcview [-info] [-h] [file.ptc]
When started with an empty command line, ptcview
will start with an empty window. A point cloud can then be loaded through the `File' menu item. When provided with a file, this utility will proceed with the load prior to display.
Here is the list of supported functionalities:
- All channels contained in the point cloud can be displayed through the `View -> Channels' menu item.
- Point normals can be displayed through the `View -> Normals' menu item.
- The current view port can be copied into the clipboard as a 2D image through the `Edit -> Copy' menu item.
When given the `-info' option, ptcview
will only print useful information about the given point cloud file. An example output looks like this:
Number of points: 462694 Number of channels: 1 Channel number 1 - Name: _radiosity - Type: color Bounding box: ( -5.71307 -6.24433 -3.51055 ), ( 1.55966 1.02841 3.76218 ) World to eye matrix: 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 0 0 1 World to ndc matrix: 3.73205 0 0 0 0 3.73205 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 5 Format: 400 400 1
