[Liblas-devel] ARSF LiDAR Analysis GUI

[Berin Smaldon]

As I gather, open source LAS viewers have been in short supply for some
time now, and having been talked about for over a year, we're finally
getting around to announcing a GPL licensed LAS viewer that Mike Grant
has been promising since the dawn of time. For now, this only works on Linux, but
I'm already working on the Windows port, the purpose here being to get
people using the software to attract bug reports, ideas and development.
So, feel free to try and get it working, I'll be interested to know how
it co-operates with other systems.

Here is the splash page: http://arsf.github.com/lag/

The link explains what to do to build it for your Linux system if you're so inclined, the Windows port is a bit of a way off yet though, but in the pipeline. If it were useful to enough people, I could potentially be persuaded to work out how to build packages for some Linux package managers too.

I acknowledge that the quality of the source code is poor in places.
There have been a number of student programmers before me having pretty
much free rein over how the program is structured and what conventions
are used. Documentation and improving the quality of the code is high on
my priority list, but not on the top of it. For now, my e-mail address
and the github page are the best sources of information, and will help
me work out how the github wiki pages could be more useful. In a few months when I'm no longer on the project, whatever e-mail address is on the splash screen or latest version of the software will have to do instead.

Enjoy,
Berin
