Bare-bones in-core point cloud viewer made in python. Features:

• basic navigation by translation and rotation (with arcball) and scaling of dataset
• several point rendering methods (from simple OpenGL points to splats)
• load multiple layers at once
• control clipping planes
• colormaps
• runs on windows and mac (linux should work too but not tested)

It was originally developed for visualisation of Medial Axis point clouds (see skel3d).

First install PyQT5.

Then clone this repository and install with setup.py, i.e.

No mechanism to properly handle very big datasets (larger than ~10 million points).
