Using CloudCompare with Visual Studio

[henki]

Hi.
I find CloudCompare very usefull.
I am beginner.
I wonder if I can integrate Visual Studio with CloudCompare.
I normally use API's to communicate with Windows programs so that I do automation.

Is there a way to access CloudCompare from VS?
Is it the Command Line approach? In that case how does that work with VS?

Thanks,
Henrik

So yes, there's a command line mode: https://www.cloudcompare.org/doc/wiki/i ... _line_mode

Otherwise some parts of CloudCompare are accessible as C++ libraries (CC_CORE_LIB with most of the algorithms - LGPL license - and the the qCC_GL, qCC_IO and qCC_DB respectively for the display, file input/output and entities management - they are all under the GPL license).
