lasblock (1)

lasblock \kx [-h | [-c arg] [-p arg] -i arg [-o arg] [-v] ]

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

\*(T<-h\*(T>, \*(T<--help\*(T>

Produce help message

\*(T<-c\*(T> arg, \*(T<--capacity\*(T> arg

Number of points to nominally put into each block (note that this number will not be exact). Default: 3000

\*(T<-p\*(T> arg, \*(T<--precision\*(T> arg

Number of decimal points to write for each bbox. Default: 8

\*(T<-i\*(T> arg, \*(T<--input\*(T> arg

input LAS file

\*(T<-o\*(T> arg, \*(T<--output\*(T> arg

The output .kdx file (defaults to input filename + .kdx)

\*(T<-v\*(T>, \*(T<--verbose\*(T>

Verbose message output

Block a file, and write out blocks with 6 decimals of precision with a nominal capacity of 3000 points per block:

\*(T<
lasblock -c 3001 -p 6 myfile.las
      \*(T>

Note. If no capacity is specified with \*(T<-c\*(T>, \*(T<10000\*(T> is assumed.

Note. lasblock will always write out a \*(T<myfile.las.kdx\*(T> file name by default, but you can override the output name with a \*(T<-o\*(T> command-line switch.
