# ReadAllPolyDataTypesDemo

VTKExamples/Cxx/IO/ReadAllPolyDataTypesDemo

### Description

This example displays a model from each of the supported vtkPolyData readers.

Info

The example reuses two procedures: ReadPolyData introduced in ReadAllPolyDataTypes and ViewportBorder inriduced in ViewportBorders.
