Project description

pylas

Another way of reading LAS/LAZ in Python.

Documentation Status https://travis-ci.org/tmontaigu/pylas.svg?branch=master

Example

import pylas

# Directly read and write las
las = pylas.read('filename.las')
las = pylas.convert(las, point_format_id=2)
las.write('converted.las')

# Open data to inspect header and then read
with pylas.open('filename.las') as f:
    if f.header.point_count < 10 ** 8:
        las = f.read()
print(las.vlrs)

Some rough documentation is available on ReadTheDocs .

lazperf is an optional, but recommended dependency that allows pylas to read and write compressed LAZ files.
