1) I don't get the part with "the 1 is the number of these lines which
is the number of points in the polygon [4] and the number of points[4]
after it [0 1 2 3] " at all! whadda ya mean?
2) about reading files:
you declare a file pointer: FILE *fp;
you open the file for reading: fp=fopen("model.plg","r");
you read from it with fscanf (use fscanf exactely like scanf but the
first argument will be the file pointer):
fscanf(fp,"%d",&Integer);
