title: Point Clouds File Formats (PCL)
body: <p>I’m new to Point Clouds and I’m very enthusiastic about the whole concept so I searched a bit and found the <a href="http://pointclouds.org/" rel="noreferrer">Point Cloud Library (PCL)</a>.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.pointclouds.org" rel="noreferrer">http://www.pointclouds.org</a></p>
  
  <p>I was expecting PCL to load most of the popular point cloud file formats but as far as I can tell, PCL seems to orbit around their own file format, the PCD.</p>
  
  <p>I’ve been poking around but I'd like more insights on a few things:</p>
  
  <p>What are the most commonly used point cloud file formats?</p>
  
  <p>Which point cloud file formats are supported through PCL?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Is there any collections of point cloud files available? Ideally, XYZRGB to play with.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,</p>
