Details
If ShowSpecimen is True, a gray shade3d of the mesh is generated in
a new rgl window for previewing the specimen. When saving to the ply file type,
Avizo inserts additional property parameters into the file heading that
sometimes describe various components of the mesh. These additional properties
cause the read.ply function native to the geomorph package to fail. This function
properly reads ply files generated by Avizo (like read.ply) and can be stored as an
object accepted as input in the other molaR functions. Ply files generated through
other software (such as MeshLab) can be read using read.ply.
