Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I am transitionning to PDAL from libLAS and so far almost everything has been easy to figure out. There is however one thing that I can not find any instructions on how to do, and that is how to write a LAS header in PDAL.<br>
<br>
I've asked the question on Stackoverflow before finding this mailing list, so here is a link to it: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68986302/writing-las-header-with-pdal-in-c" id="gmail-m_4152221100209582908LPlnk" target="_blank">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68986302/writing-las-header-with-pdal-in-c</a>.
Hopefully, someone here has the answer that I am looking for.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,</div>
