Add tiff files Loader plugin to the official repository of cloudcompare

Post by jvuixcqm »

Hi Daniel,
I used AI(claude code) to create a CC plug-in. It is used to import point-cloud data in uniform spacing in tiff format generated by line laser 3D cameras into CC. I would like to ask if I can add this plug-in to CC's default plug-in list. With CC's release, it can be used by all users.

It still has a Chinese interface. If necessary, AI can make an English version.
Currently, this plug-in supports:
16-bit signed tiff, z-value range: -32768 ~ 32767
16-bit unsigned tiff, z-value range: 0~65535
32-bit tiff, z-value is true 32-bit value
96-bit tiff, with three (XYZ) channels, all of which are 32-bit real values
128-bit tiff, two are used, Channel 1 is an 8-bit brightness map, and Channel 2 is a 32-bit height map

Can you share the link to the plugin code? (ideally it should be in a dedicated repository that we could add as a submodule).

And don't hesitate to move this discussion to github (it will be easier).
