/**
 * @author Wei Meng / http://about.me/menway
 *
 * Description: A THREE loader for PLY ASCII files (known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format).
 *
 * Currently only supports ASCII encoded files.
 *
 * Limitations: ASCII decoding assumes file is UTF-8.
 *
 * Usage:
 *	var loader = new THREE.PLYLoader();
 *	loader.addEventListener( 'load', function ( event ) {
 *
 *		var geometry = event.content;
 *		scene.add( new THREE.Mesh( geometry ) );
 *
 *	} );
 *	loader.load( './models/ply/ascii/dolphins.ply' );
