vtkPLYReader does not work on win and mac ASCII ply files
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
The vtkPLYReader is able to load ply files either in binary format or in ASCII format, but in the second case there is a problem with line termination characters. The vtkPLYReader reads only ASCII lines terminating with LF character (0x0A) according to unix-like operating systems: to achieve platform independence, it is supposed to works fine also on win and mac ASCII files. In the former the lines terminate with CR LF (0x0D 0x0A), in the latter lines terminate with CR (0x0D). So the vtkPLYReader has to recognize different line terminations as well.
