[GRASS-user] Crown shape drawing

[Daniel Victoria]

Hi all,

A while ago I had to do a similar task for Lidar analysis.... So I
made a quick python program for it. The only problem is that it spits
out boxes and not nice round shapes. The code will create both GRASS
ASCII vector format or a csv file that can be used to subset las data.
Also, since I created the program specifically for our needs, the
column numbers are fixed.

Anyway, the code is attached. Hope it helps.

Cheers
Daniel

PS1 - I'm no professional coder so I'm certain there are flaws and
leftover lines in the code. But it worked for me...
PS2 - I have another version that will generate a shapefile with
ellipses as crowns but the code is too messy. I'd like to make it more
presentable before releasing it but, if you can stomach poorly writen
python, just let me know...
