#include <CGAL/IO/read_las_points.h>
reads user-selected points properties from a .las or .laz stream.
Potential additional properties are ignored.
Properties are handled through a variadic list of property handlers. A PropertyHandler
can either be:
- A
std::pair<PropertyMap, LAS_property::Tag >
if the user wants to read a LAS property as a scalar value LAS_property::Tag::type
(for example, storing an int
LAS property into an int
variable).
- A
std::tuple<PropertyMap, Constructor, LAS_property::Tag...>
if the user wants to use one or several LAS properties to construct a complex object (for example, storing 4 unsigned short
LAS properties into a Color object that can for example be a std::array<unsigned short, 4>
). In that case, the second element of the tuple should be a functor that constructs the value type of PropertyMap
from N objects of of type LAS_property::Tag::type
.
The LAS standard defines a fixed set of properties accessible through the following tag classes:
LAS_property::X
with type double
LAS_property::Y
with type double
LAS_property::Z
with type double
LAS_property::Intensity
with type unsigned short
LAS_property::Return_number
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Number_of_returns
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Scan_direction_flag
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Edge_of_flight_line
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Classification
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Synthetic_flag
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Keypoint_flag
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Withheld_flag
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Scan_angle
with type double
LAS_property::User_data
with type unsigned char
LAS_property::Point_source_ID
with type unsigned short
LAS_property::Deleted_flag
with type unsigned int
LAS_property::GPS_time
with type double
LAS_property::R
with type unsigned short
LAS_property::G
with type unsigned short
LAS_property::B
with type unsigned short
LAS_property::I
with type unsigned short
- Attention
- To read a binary file, the flag
std::ios::binary
must be set during the creation of the ifstream
.
- Template Parameters
-
OutputIteratorValueType | type of objects that can be put in PointOutputIterator . It must be a model of DefaultConstructible and defaults to value_type_traits<PointOutputIterator>::type . It can be omitted if the default is fine. |
PointOutputIterator | iterator over output points. |
PropertyHandler | handlers to recover properties. |
- Returns
true
if reading was successful, false
otherwise.

#include <CGAL/IO/write_las_points.h>
writes the range of points
with properties to a .las stream.
Properties are handled through a variadic list of property handlers. A PropertyHandle
is a std::pair<PropertyMap, LAS_property::Tag >
used to write a scalar value LAS_property::Tag::type
as a LAS property (for example, writing an int
vairable as an int
LAS property). An exception is used for points that are written using a std::tuple
object.
See documentation of read_LAS_with_properties()
for the list of available LAS_property::Tag
classes.
