[Liblas-devel] LAS SHP Viewer

[Etienne Bellemare Racine]

  Hi Michael,

Depending of the way you want to visualize your data and the kind of 
shapefile you have, maybe SAGA <http://www.saga-gis.org/en/index.html> 
could be a good choice. Otherwise, I find that Fusion/LDV 
<http://forsys.cfr.washington.edu/fusion/fusionlatest.html> is a good 3D 
las visualizer but I'm not sure about viewing 3D shapefile. There is 
also GRASS <http://grass.osgeo.org/> that allows to load both formats 
(using liblas I think). If your data isn't too huge and you plan to 
program something, maybe you could do that in R 
<http://www.r-project.org/> as there is an OpenGL binding that could be 
used for 3D and multiples shapefiles readers 
<http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html>. However, for reading 
las in R, you could write a liblas binding :-) or I know or use this 
other initiative <http://staff.acecrc.org.au/%7Emdsumner/las/readLAS.R>.

Hope it helps,
Etienne
