// .NAME vtkPLYWriter - write Stanford PLY file format
// .SECTION Description
// vtkPLYWriter writes polygonal data in Stanford University PLY format
// (see http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/). The data can be
// written in either binary (little or big endian) or ASCII representation.
// As for PointData and CellData, vtkPLYWriter cannot handle normals or
// vectors. It only handles RGB PointData and CellData. You need to set the
// name of the array (using SetName for the array and SetArrayName for the
// writer). If the array is not a vtkUnsignedCharArray with 3 components,
// you need to specify a vtkLookupTable to map the scalars to RGB.

// .SECTION Caveats
// PLY does not handle big endian versus little endian correctly.

// .SECTION See Also
// vtkPLYReader

  // Description:
  // These methods enable the user to control how to add color into the PLY
  // output file. The default behavior is as follows. The user provides the
  // name of an array and a component number. If the type of the array is
  // three components, unsigned char, then the data is written as three
  // separate "red", "green" and "blue" properties. If the type is not
  // unsigned char, and a lookup table is provided, then the array/component
  // are mapped through the table to generate three separate "red", "green"
  // and "blue" properties in the PLY file. The user can also set the
  // ColorMode to specify a uniform color for the whole part (on a vertex
  // colors, face colors, or both. (Note: vertex colors or cell colors may be
  // written, depending on where the named array is found. If points and
  // cells have the arrays with the same name, then both colors will be
