[Liblas-devel] Written file can't be read by other .las viewers

[James Hargrave]

Hello,

When I use laslib to create a file I am able to then read the file back in
and everything seems fine.  However, I am unable to view the file in other
applications such as the lasview.exe utility found here:

http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/lastools/

The steps I use mirror the C++ tutorial from the laslib.org site:

	ofs.open((char*)filename, ios::out | ios::binary);
	liblas::Header header;

	writer = new liblas::Writer(ofs, header);

Then in a loop:

	liblas::Point point;
	point.SetCoordinates(pt.X(), pt.Y(), pt.Z());

	// fill other properties of point record
	if ( rgb )
		point.SetColor( liblas::Color( rgb[0], rgb[1], rgb[2] ) );

	writer->WritePoint(point);


If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate any suggestions.  If it would help I
can also provide a sample output file which I am able to read back in using
liblas but does not appear when loaded into lasview.exe .

Thanks,
- James
