PLY export with color with Scalar

ParaView Support

Here is a solution. Instead of using “Save Data”, add a programmable filter with this code:

import vtk as VTK
input=self.GetPolyDataInput()
writer=VTK.vtkPLYWriter()
writer.SetInputData(input)
writer.SetFileName("/path/to/test.ply")
writer.SetArrayName("color")
writer.Write()
