Hi:

> Would you have any comments to the liblas?

This days i am working in other programming task projects, but in a 
couple a weeks i will go back to the viewer.
We have to create a desktop viewer with your library , but a web viewer 
also. We are thinking in a web software similar to :

http://archive.cyark.org/sites.php?v=media&t=3D%20Point%20Cloud

This was build by java3d. I want implement it in shockwave 3d.

With our lidar viewer we want have a Lasedit free software. ;-)

In my job we use terrasolid software to work. I would like create 
similar free software :-D  using your library.

> Have you tried to build/run/use it?

I was working only 2 days, but with Martin Isenburg 
<http://www.cs.unc.edu/%7Eisenburg/lastools/> library, because i don´t 
know your library. I had many problems, because i could´t compile the 
library in mingw, only with visual 6 compiler.  I want develop software 
in a easy portable way. Using c++ cookbook from orrealy i am learning 
techniques to create crossplatform software in c++.


> How do you like its API?

Well i am not a c++ expert by now, but i promise learn hehe. In my job 
we work with ruby(ruby-gnome), C/gobject/gtk, c#/.NET (Microstation, 
Autocad, arcgis). I have  with good OOP skills and can understand your 
code well. I only can say this hehehe
By know i solve my c++ problems (templates, overload) with glib 
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-data-types.html) and 
VALA (http://live.gnome.org/Vala).
I know c++, but can be  my first c++ professional work :-[ .

I can see Martin Isenburg <http://www.cs.unc.edu/%7Eisenburg/lastools/> 
library very easy to understand and use, but yours library is more 
complete and portable, and it´s a open community project.

> Is there anything missing or that would be nice-to-have included?

I like binary files for engineering , but i don´t like LAS format 
specification at all hehe, because use little endian, not a cross 
platform binary file.
 This days i am working with SQlite, a great local database with direct 
binary connection. Binary is perfect for engineering applications, and 
it´s used in all mobile devices (Nokia, motorola, palm, 
sony-erickson,...) thanks to sqlite.
We have also a binary XML version 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Binary_Meta_Language)

it´s crazy have support for other lidar formats????.
Do you like LAS format?
