Add bool dtype support for PLY files #321

Closed Nicholas-Autio-Mitchell closed 2 years ago

Nicholas-Autio-Mitchell commented 2 years ago

This PR addresses https://github.com/daavoo/pyntcloud/issues/309 and adds support for the file reader to deal with Boolean fields (writing boolean fields was already not an issue). It also adds a new test fixture file and a simple unit test.

The new test data PLY file contains the following header:

diamond with bool points dtypes

which loads to give the following dataframe - notice the newly inserted is_green column of type bool:

green blue nx ny nz is green
