<tt>Hi again,<br>
<br>
I was disappointed to find that the previous developer had just
added a function to check the filename ending for ".las" or ".LAS"
to decide whether a given file is a LAS file or not. I have added
.laz and .LAZ for the time being, and merged the changes into the
testing branch, where LAG now appears to load LAZ files without a
single hiccup.<br>
<br>
I should hope to change this in future.<br>
<br>
For the meantime, anyone who wants this functionality can use git
to use the hotfix:<br>
git clone <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:git@github.com:arsf/lag.git">git@github.com:arsf/lag.git</a><br>
git checkout testing<br>
*compile as usual*<br>

Hi Berin,<br>
<br>
if you use LASlib and you can open LAS files then you can also
open LAZ files as the code path is the same. It may be that your
LAG file selector does not allow a *.laz ending? In this case
simply test by renaming (temporarily) a *.laz file to *.las and
try to open it. LASlib decides based in the content (not the
ending) whether the LAS file is compressed of not.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Martin<br>
<br>
PS: if you use lasreadopener, then you would also
BIN/SHP/QFIT/ASCII/ASC/BIL support that would get opened "as if"
they were LAS files ...<br>
