Struct las::writer::Writer
[−]
[src]
pub struct Writer<P: AsRef<Path>> {
// some fields omitted
}A las writer.
This wrapper conforms to the more standard structure of requiring a filename on create, not on close.
I recognize that it's pretty messy to have both this and File, and TODO I need to clean
things up.
Methods
impl<P: AsRef<Path>> Writer<P>
fn from_path(path: P) -> Writer<P>
Creates a new writer that will write las data to the given path.
This won't actually write anything until the writer is closed.
Examples
use las::writer::Writer; let writer = Writer::from_path("temp.las");
fn scale_factors(self, x_scale_factor: f64, y_scale_factor: f64, z_scale_factor: f64) -> Writer<P>
Sets the scale factors on a writer.
Examples
use las::writer::Writer; let writer = Writer::from_path("temp.las").scale_factors(0.01, 0.01, 0.01);
fn offsets(self, x_offset: f64, y_offset: f64, z_offset: f64) -> Writer<P>
Sets the offset values for a file.
Examples
use las::writer::Writer; let writer = Writer::from_path("temp.las").offsets(1000.0, 2000.0, 100.0);
fn auto_offsets(self, enable: bool) -> Writer<P>
Enables auto-offsetting.
If auto-offsetting is enabled, this file will set the header offset values to sensible values before writing anything. This is usually easier than calculating the offsets yourself.
Examples
use las::writer::Writer; let writer = Writer::from_path("temp.las").auto_offsets(true);
fn write_point(&mut self, point: Point)
Writes a point to this writer.
Note that this point won't actually be written until the writer is closed.
Examples
use las::writer::Writer; use las::point::Point; let mut writer = Writer::from_path("temp.las"); writer.write_point(Point::new());
fn close(&mut self) -> Result<()>
Closes this writer and actually writes data out to disc.
Since we need to calculate some stats on the points for the header, we delay writing until the very last minute. If you don't want to hold all those points in memory, we'll need to come up with some other way to do that.
This function consumes the writer.
Examples
use std::fs::remove_file; use las::writer::Writer; use las::point::Point; let mut writer = Writer::from_path("temp.las"); writer.write_point(Point::new()); writer.close().unwrap(); remove_file("temp.las").unwrap();
