read_XYZ() [1/2]

template<typename OutputIteratorValueType , typename OutputIterator , typename NamedParameters = CGAL::parameters::Default_named_parameters>

bool CGAL::IO::read_XYZ	(	const std::string &	fname,
		OutputIterator	output,
		const NamedParameters &	np = parameters::default_values()
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/read_xyz_points.h>

reads points (positions + normals, if available), using the IOStreamXYZ.

Template Parameters

OutputIteratorValueType	type of objects that can be put in OutputIterator. It must be a model of DefaultConstructible and defaults to value_type_traits<OutputIterator>::type. It can be omitted when the default is fine.
OutputIterator	iterator over output points.
NamedParameters	a sequence of Named Parameters

Parameters

fname	input file name.
output	output iterator over points.
np	optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below.

Optional Named Parameters

point_map a property map associating points to the elements of the point range Type: a model of WritablePropertyMap with value type geom_traits::Point_3 Default: CGAL::Identity_property_map<geom_traits::Point_3>
normal_map a property map associating normals to the elements of the point range Type: a model of WritablePropertyMap with value type geom_traits::Vector_3 Default: If this parameter is omitted, normals in the input stream are ignored.
geom_traits an instance of a geometric traits class Type: a model of Kernel Default: a CGAL Kernel deduced from the point type, using CGAL::Kernel_traits

Returns

true if reading was successful, false otherwise.

	)

#include <CGAL/IO/write_xyz_points.h>

writes the range of points (positions + normals, if available), using the IOStreamXYZ.

Template Parameters

Optional Named Parameters

point_map a property map associating points to the elements of the point range Type: a model of ReadablePropertyMap with value type geom_traits::Point_3 Default: CGAL::Identity_property_map<geom_traits::Point_3>
