NAME

lasinfo - display LAS file details

SYNOPSIS

lasinfo [-h | -i arg [-v] [--no-vlrs] [--no-schema] [--no-check] [--xml] [-p arg] [Filtering options] ]

DESCRIPTION

lasinfo displays LAS file details with optional output filters. While lasinfo can do a few simple operations like updating header information, more drastic changes, like removing points or altering values, will require las2las(1).

OPTIONS

lasinfo options:

FC-hF[0], FC--helpF[0]

produce help message

FC-iF[0] arg, FC--inputF[0] arg

input LAS file

FC-vF[0], FC--verboseF[0]

Verbose message output

FC--no-vlrsF[0]

Don't show VLRs

FC--no-schemaF[0]

Don't show schema

FC--no-checkF[0]

Don't scan points

FC--xmlF[0]

Output as XML

Display a point with a given id. FC--point 44F[0]

Filtering options:

FC-eF[0] arg, FC--extentF[0] arg

Extent window that points must fall within to keep. Use a comma-separated or quoted, space-separated list, for example, FC-e minx, miny, maxx, maxyF[0] or FC-e minx, miny, minz, maxx, maxy, maxzF[0] FC-e "minx miny minz maxx maxy maxz"F[0]
