Summary
POLYDATA is used to transfer 3D polygonal data. The message format is designed based on the POLY DATA format defined in VTK file format and equivalent to VTK's vtkPolyData class. The message also supports dataset attribute field in VTK, including scalars, vectors, vectors, normals, texture coordinates and tensor, but not color table.
