Reading a .dat file or .geom file in Matlab

Hello,

I have geometry files of a sphere which I want to visualize in matlab. The file name is "sphere.geom" or "sphere.dat". Both are the geometry files and I want to visualize them using matlab script in matlab or to convert them using matlab script to .vtk files so they can be visualized in paraview. I am attaching the files with the question as a zip file because of their extension.

Does anyone knows how it can be done or any links/hints?

yes，sir，use direct read and sparse，can get data，may be check it，but how to view the data，may be consider more method.

fid = fopen('./sphere.dat', 'r');
for i = 1 : 6
    tline = fgetl(fid);
end
data = [];
while ~feof(fid)
    tline = fgetl(fid);
    data = [data; str2num(tline)];
end
fclose(fid);
