This module offers convenience overloads of input/ouput functions available in the Point Set Processing package.

These overloads, available after including CGAL/Point_set_3/IO.h, allow the user to call point set processing algorithms without having to handle manually property maps and iterators.

Input functions instanciate all the necessary property maps:

if found in the input, normal vectors are stored in the usual CGAL::Point_set_3 property normal with template type Vector
for PLY and LAS input, other properties are stored as properties in the CGAL::Point_set_3 class with the name and type given by the PLY header or by the LAS standard.

For a complete documentation of these functions, please refer to the Point Set Processing Reference manual.
