Function Documentation

template<typename OutputIteratorValueType , typename OutputIterator , typename PointPMap , typename Kernel >
bool CGAL::read_off_points ( std::istream &  stream,
OutputIterator  output,
PointPMap  point_pmap,
const Kernel kernel 
)

Reads points (position only) from a .off ASCII stream.

The function expects for each point a line with the x y z position. If the position is followed by the nx ny nz normal, then the normal will be ignored. Faces are ignored.

Template Parameters
OutputIteratorValueTypetype of objects that can be put in OutputIterator. It is default to value_type_traits<OutputIterator>::type and can be omitted when the default is fine.
OutputIteratoriterator over output points.
PointPMapis a model of WritablePropertyMap with value_type Point_3<Kernel>. It can be omitted if the value type of OutputIterator is convertible to Point_3<Kernel>.
KernelGeometric traits class. It can be omitted and deduced automatically from the value type of PointPMap.
Returns
true on success.
Parameters
streaminput stream.
outputoutput iterator over points.
point_pmapproperty map: value_type of OutputIterator -> Point_3.
kernelgeometric traits.
