DESCRIPTION

v.out.ply converts a GRASS vector map in binary format to an ASCII file in PLY format. Currently supported is points export only. v.out.ply is designed for large point clouds and fairly fast if only coordinates are exported. The export of attributes with the option columns can slow down the export considerably.

If the output parameter is not given then the coordinates of any point data within the vector map is sent to stdout.
