[Qgis-developer] Lidar data into QGIS

[A Huarte]

I think but using a quadtree approach there is a problem, and it is none other than the construction of the quadtree itself for so big data.

IMHO I would use a specific provider (with a specific featureiterator) reading sequentially the LAS file and discarding points before fetch it to renderer using the RectangleFilter of current FeatureRequest. It avoid create many-many QgsFeature's that after are discarded in renderer side.

I use this technique in a personal viewer, and after first read of file (the file is cached in SO), the following drawings are quite fast.
