◆ read_LAS() [1/2]

template<typename Point , typename Vector >
bool CGAL::IO::read_LAS ( std::istream &  is,
CGAL::Point_set_3< Point, Vector > &  point_set 
)

#include <CGAL/Point_set_3/IO/LAS.h>

reads the content of an intput stream in the LAS (Lidar) File Format into a point set.

Attention
To read a binary file, the flag std::ios::binary must be set during the creation of the ifstream.
Parameters
isthe input stream
point_setthe point set
Note
All LAS properties are read as described in read_LAS_with_properties().
Returns
true if the reading was successful, false otherwise.

◆ read_LAS() [2/2]

template<typename Point , typename Vector >
bool CGAL::IO::read_LAS ( const std::string &  fname,
CGAL::Point_set_3< Point, Vector > &  point_set 
)

#include <CGAL/Point_set_3/IO/LAS.h>

reads the content of an intput file in the LAS (Lidar) File Format into a point set.

Parameters
fnamethe path to the input file
point_setthe point set
Note
All LAS properties are read as described in read_LAS_with_properties().
Returns
true if the reading was successful, false otherwise.

◆ write_LAS() [1/2]

template<typename Point , typename Vector >
bool CGAL::IO::write_LAS ( std::ostream &  os,
CGAL::Point_set_3< Point, Vector > &  point_set 
)

#include <CGAL/Point_set_3/IO/LAS.h>

writes the content of a point set into an output stream in the LAS (Lidar) File Format.

Attention
To write to a binary file, the flag std::ios::binary must be set during the creation of the ofstream.
Template Parameters
Pointthe point type of the Point_set_3
Vectorthe vector type of the Point_set_3
Parameters
osthe output stream
point_setthe point set
Note
All LAS properties are written as described in read_LAS_with_properties().
Returns
true if the writing was successful, false otherwise.

◆ write_LAS() [2/2]

template<typename Point , typename Vector >
bool CGAL::IO::write_LAS ( const std::string &  fname,
CGAL::Point_set_3< Point, Vector > &  point_set 
)

#include <CGAL/Point_set_3/IO/LAS.h>

writes the content of a point set into an output file in the LAS (Lidar) File Format.

Template Parameters
Pointthe point type of the Point_set_3
Vectorthe vector type of the Point_set_3
Parameters
fnamethe path to the output file
point_setthe point set
Note
All LAS properties are written as described in read_LAS_with_properties().
Returns
true if the writing was successful, false otherwise.
