The tool supports two file formats ply (as described in the following document http://vcg.sourceforge.net/img/wiki_up/plyformat.pdf) and off (as described in http://www.geomview.org/docs/html/geomview_41.html#SEC44) . + + +--- Command-line Reference --- + +Usage: + + TriMeshInfo [options] + +Valid options are the following: + + -q Quiet (disable verbose mode that is enabled by default) + -x Enable XML output + -h Enable HTML output + -s Save the clean mesh + +The XML output produces an XML file with the same name of the mesh under +examination.
