[Liblas-devel] lasmerge in liblas

[Gennady Khokhorin]

Hello, Mateusz.
Have couple questions kind of about library design.
 
Did receive you liblas Beta 1 announce from one of my college:
http://lidarbb.cr.usgs.gov/index.php?showtopic=3700&pid=4622&st=0&#entry
4622
It is a great news that las is finally linked to GDAL. I'm using a lot
of GDAL 
vector, raster functionality building stand-along apps.
 
So, as far as liblas is part of GDAL what the purpose of lasmerge
routine?
Should it be part of GDAL syntax like "ogr2ogr -append.." ?
 
In the past I did create driver for las (ASPRS), bin (TerraScan), cmp
(Optech),
xyz (text) lidar data formats with multiple operations: logical (merge,
split), spatial
(shift, reproject, VLR georeference), extract data (by time, by prizm).
I'm wonder what are team's plans to extend liblas to create such
features?
Or it will be up to GDAL?
 
Happy programming!
