Hi all,

I'm generating meshes with up to several million nodes and save them with output_to_medit(medit_file) of CGAL::Mesh_complex_3_in_triangulation_3<Tr>.

Since data transfer and reading the files is becoming a bit annoying, I wonder how I could save the mesh in a data format more suitable for large data, probably a binary format. I briefly browsed through the code and documentation, but I didn't find anything to write to binary or to write it quickly by myself.

Is there an option, or do I need to write that from scratch?

Best regards,

Michael
