Struct LASWriter

pub struct LASWriter<T: Write + Seek + Send + 'static> { /* private fields */ }

PointWriter implementation for LAS/LAZ files.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the LAS file format, this file writer requires manual flush calls in order to actually write the LAS/LAZ data. Once you are done writing points, make sure to call flush so that the LAS header is updated correctly.

Implementations

impl<T: Write + Seek + Send + 'static> LASWriter<T>

pub fn from_writer_and_point_layout( writer: T, point_layout: &PointLayout, is_compressed: bool, ) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new LASWriter from the given writer. This uses a default-created LAS header for writing, with an appropriate point format determined from the given point_layout. The LAS header uses a scale of 0.001, which yields 1mm precision. LAS version 1.4 is used. If is_compressed is set, the writer will write compressed LAZ files instead of LAS files.

pub fn from_writer_and_header( writer: T, header: Header, is_compressed: bool, ) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new LASWriter from the given writer and LAS header. If is_compressed is set, the writer will write compressed LAZ files instead of LAS files.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> Result<T>

Unwraps with LASWriter, returning the underlying write type T. All internal data is flushed before returning the writer

impl LASWriter<BufWriter<File>>

pub fn from_path_and_header<P: AsRef<Path>>( path: P, header: Header, ) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new LASWriter from the given path and LAS header

pub fn from_path_and_point_layout<P: AsRef<Path>>( path: P, point_layout: &PointLayout, ) -> Result<Self>

Creates a new LASWriter from the given path and point_layout

Trait Implementations

impl<T: Write + Seek + Send + 'static> PointWriter for LASWriter<T>

fn write<'a, B: BorrowedBuffer<'a>>(&mut self, points: &'a B) -> Result<()>

Write the points in the given PointBuffer to the associated PointWriter.

fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Flush this PointWriter, ensuring that all points are written to their destination and that all required metadata is written as well

fn get_default_point_layout(&self) -> &PointLayout

Returns the default PointLayout of the associated PointWriter
