What feature or change would you like to see made?

Is there any idea to support .ply format file in OHIF viewer?

Note: It can be a low-priority issue. If busy, it's ok to just leave this issue alone.

I would like to support .ply format file specific to my needs, but I don't know how to start up my development. I only know that I can develop a mode => then extensions that can handle .ply files => done, but there are still some uncertain details for me.

  1. Can OHIF handle 3-D files directly?
  2. Should I modify the code in core to render, or just convert my .ply files to DICOM?

I will appreciate if you can give me some guides! :)

Why should we prioritize this feature?

Sorry but no need to prioritize this feature. Maybe I can develop and contribute it by myself, and I am just looking for a helping hand for starting development.

Not really, you can create a mapper from ply to vtk actors and render them in viewport. probably that is the way to go using vtk.js https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/index.html
