Summary of Changes
In the ply file format one specifies in the header the type of properties. For a color one typically writes
property uchar red
, and then later writes a number between 0 and 255. We wrote a single char which is a mistake and was reported in issue #7996. Note that even the CGAL ply reader cannot read it. And there is a comment in the reader which explains that it reads an integer string and not a single char.Release Management
