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, calar_scalars, vectors, vectors, normals, texture coordinates and tensor, but not lookup table.

- Values for TYPE_ATTRIBUTE (16-bit)
- 0-7 bit: Attribute Type:
- 0x00: POINT_DATA / Scalars
- 0x01: POINT_DATA / Vectors
- 0x02: POINT_DATA / Normals
- 0x03: POINT_DATA / Tensors
- 0x04: POINT_DATA / RGBA
- 0x10: CELL_DATA / Scalars
- 0x11: CELL_DATA / Vectors
- 0x12: CELL_DATA / Normals
- 0x13: CELL_DATA / Tensors
- 0x14: CELL_DATA / RGBA
- 8-15 bit: Number of components -- must be 3 for Vectors and Normal, 9 for Tensor, 4 for RGBA.
- 0-7 bit: Attribute Type:
- Maximum length for attribute name is 255
- If there are a pair of scalar and RGBA data with the same name and type (either POINT or CELL), those are used as scalar values and a look up table.
- elements in RGBA data must be in the rage of [0.0, 1.0]
