--- General Info ---

MeshLab is an extendible mesh processing system, aimed to the user
assisted cleaning, filtering, editing and rendering of unstructured 3D
triangular meshes.
The tool found its natural use for the processiing of the meshes that usually 
arise in 3d scanning. The system is heavily based on
the VCG library (vcg.sf.net). The current version of Meshlab was developed during 
the FGT (Foundation of Three-dimensional Graphics) course of the Computer Science 
department ofUniversity of Pisa. 

--- Main Features ---

Input/output in many formats (PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ)
Extendible plugins based architecture, writing new mesh 
processing functions, filters and format support is quite easy.
Cleaning Filters
	Removal of duplicated, unreferenced vertices, null faces
	Subdivision filters
Opengl Shader based rendering 
Large snapshot for hi quality printing
Various Colorization Filters 
	Gaussian Curvature
	Border edges
