  • Comments starts with: specify the comment character to skip lines, for instance # will skip lines starting with this character

  • Format of lines: if the coordinates of the points are defined in a specific format, the user can enter here a C/C++ string format to parse the coordinates, for instance:

%g %g %g will read X Y Z coordinates separated by spaces
%g, %g, %g will read X Y Z coordinates separated by commas
%*d %g %g %g will read X Y Z coordinates after discarding the first 'index'

  • Create Delaunay mesh after import: if enabled, after importing the points a triangle / tetrahedral mesh will be created using the Delaunay mesher.
