Hi Peter,

wrt GRASS:
r.in.xyz can read unlimited delimited ascii from stdin for a 2D slice
or 2.5D DEM. r3.in.xyz needs a disk file to work with (furthest developed
in grass7, still a few things to backport to grass6 addons).

how you get those inputs to ascii format is left as an exercise for
the student. :)


but see also the PCL project, maybe some useful tool there:
