/**
 * @class   vtkPLYReader
 * @brief   read Stanford University PLY polygonal file format
 *
 * vtkPLYReader is a source object that reads polygonal data in
 * Stanford University PLY file format (see
 * http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep). It requires that
 * the elements "vertex" and "face" are defined. The "vertex" element
 * must have the properties "x", "y", and "z". The "face" element must
 * have the property "vertex_indices" defined. Optionally, if the "face"
 * element has the properties "intensity" and/or the triplet "red",
 * "green", "blue", and optionally "alpha"; these are read and added as scalars
 * to the output data.
