how to convert .ply binary data file to triangle strips and display

some large scale data graphic files,even obtained through laserfinder, are stored in .ply file format,my question how to convert .ply binary data file to triangle strips and display,i use VC++, does anyone has similar function or sourcecode just like plyViewer.

http://www.wotsit.org has the specifications of the .ply format. You can use them to write your own file loader. To build triangle strips, you can use the library that NVidia has on their developer site.
