how to save a mesh on remote serverwithout GUI

[voyage19941119]

Thanks a lot for providing kintinuous！ I am runing it on lab server shared with other lab members，remotely through my own computer.so there is no GUI I can use，so I annotate all codes about displaying，then it works well. now I want to save a mesh，what should I do？

You may found it useful to search "save" related keyword in this project. https://github.com/mp3guy/Kintinuous/blob/06b19ccb4a043535877acb64df86f69d8895e897/src/backend/IncrementalMesh.cpp

void IncrementalMesh::saveMesh(std::string file)

@HTLife thanks for help . but I still cannot save the mesh after adding function IncrementalMesh::saveMesh() in MainController.cpp , specificly in MainController::mainLoop()(as picture bellow shows,below //change 0) thanks anyway !

You are using that function wrongly. Provide parameter -m : Enable mesh generation. And call function like this https://github.com/mp3guy/Kintinuous/blob/fdf77b893abebf85d63cb98eeec4fdd38965a059/src/MainController.cpp#L238

In your code, save function is saving nothing!!!

yeah ,I found it later ,so I have changed the code(have added -m to enable mesh generation) and successfully saved a .pcd and .ply .pcd works fine ,but I cannot open .ply through meshlab
