Hello,

I am developing 3d video probing plugin software. I need to choose an output file type for the resulting point cloud.

MachCloud uses a .txt file. I like the fact that the data is in plain text so that anybody can read it or use it.  However, I would prefer to save my point cloud data to a file type that identifies the file as a pointcloud. Plain text if possible. Binary if necessary.

Maybe both text and binary and let the user choose?

Any suggestions for file types for a list of 3d points?
