vector, using the <a href="http://www.liblas.org">libLAS</a> library.
-The typical file extensions for the LAS format are .las and .laz (compressed).
The created vector is true 3D with x, y, z coordinates.

+The typical file extensions for the LAS format are .las and .laz (compressed).
+The compressed LAS format can be imported only if libLAS has been compiled
+with laszip support. It is also recommended to compile libLAS with GDAL,
+needed to text for matching projections.
<P>
For larger datasets, it is recommended to not build topology (-b flag).
Also, creating a table with attributes can take some time for larger datasets.
