File Format

name: fileFormat, type: Enum, default: PLY

Determines the file format used to store the data.

Save As ASCII

name: saveAsASCII, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If enabled then the point cloud - if the file format provides the option - is written in ASCII format; otherwise the file is written in the format generically used by the writer selected in File Format.

Compress

name: compress, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If enabled then the point cloud - if the file format provides the option - is written as compressed data; otherwise the file is written as the writer does it generically.

Full File Path

name: fullFilePath, type: String

The absolute file path to be used for the written file. It must end with a suffix supported by the writer. Currently “.ply” and “.pcd” are supported. If no suffix is given then it will be appended automatically.

Save

name: save, type: Trigger

Performs the actual file save operation.

Success

name: fileIOHasSucceeded, type: Bool, persistent: no

This flag is reset to false on any input parameter change, only after a successful save operation it is set to true. It can be used to check whether the lastmost save operation has been completed successfully.
