OFF (Object File Format) is a geometry definition file format containing the description of the composing polygons of a geometric object.[1] It can store 2D or 3D objects, and simple extensions allow it to represent higher-dimensional objects as well.[2] Though originally developed for Geomview, a geometry visualization software, other software has adapted the simple standard.[3]

Composition
The composition of a standard OFF file is as follows:[4]
- First line (optional): the letters OFF to mark the file type.
- Second line: the number of vertices, number of faces, and number of edges, in order (the latter can be ignored by writing 0 instead).
- List of vertices: X, Y and Z coordinates.
- List of faces: number of vertices, followed by the indexes of the composing vertices, in order (indexed from zero).
- Optionally, the RGB values for the face color can follow the elements of the faces.
The four-dimensional OFF format, most notably used by Stella4D, which allows visualization of four-dimensional objects, has a few minor differences:[5]
- First line (optional): the letters 4OFF to mark the file type.
- Second line: the number of vertices, number of faces, number of edges, and number of cells, in order (the number of edges can be ignored).
- List of vertices: X, Y, Z and W coordinates.
- List of faces: number of vertices, followed by the indexes of the composing vertices, in order (indexed from zero).
- List of cells: number of faces, followed by the indexes of the composing faces, in order (indexed from zero).
- Optionally, the RGB values for the cell color can follow the elements of the cells.
Comments are marked with a pound sign (#): these are not read by the software.
