Description
.ply
files were not written with "double" coordinates even though the xyz coordinates columns were in float64 format.I was dealing with ply files in geospatial context and required to save a
.ply
file. I hit this issue, so here is the PR.This seems to have been a pain for the community:
Proposed changes
make float64 compatible with ply files (written ply files with float64 (double) coordinates can be opened by cloudcompare)
make property_format mapping better (written ply files can now exploit all the scalar data types a .ply file can support)
try downcasting column if column dtype is not compatible with PLY specification
fix most of flake8 issues (1 remaining)
backward compatible with Add support for
bool
type in PLY files #309References :
