The objects and tools presented in this wiki mostly comes from the plugin Pointcloud. See here to see how install plugins in GroIMP. The wiki is up to date with the version 1.7 of the plugin.

Tools:

• Point cloud tools
• Point cloud shape fitting

Tutorials:

• Import/Export point clouds
• Validating growth model on measured point cloud
• Using point clouds with meshes as organs

In GroIMP point cloud are implemented following the design:

The main Objects are:

• PointCloud : A Node, i.e. an object that can be inserted in a GroIMP graph. The PointCloud is responsible for the display of the points by implementing CollectionDisplayable.
• Cloud : The representation of the data structure through which the point cloud data is accessed.
• Point : The base interface that an object must implements to be part of a Cloud. In GroIMP, points are not limited to 3 dimensions.

These three Objects implements CloudContext, meaning when any of the three is selected, you can access the Cloud structure handled. Most of the tools from the package de.grogra.pointcloud.tools are applied on Cloud, and produce Cloud objects. The GUI commands however can works with any CloudContext object.
