readers.ptx

The PTX reader reads data from Leica Cyclone PTX files. It infers dimensions from points stored in a text file.

Note

PTX files can contain multiple point clouds stored in a single file. If that is the case, the reader will read all the points from all of the internal point clouds as one.

Default Embedded Stage

This stage is enabled by default

Options

filename

File to read. [Required]

count

Maximum number of points to read. [Default: unlimited]

override_srs

Spatial reference to apply to the data. Overrides any SRS in the input itself. Can be specified as a WKT, proj.4 or EPSG string. Can’t use with ‘default_srs’. [Default: none]

default_srs

Spatial reference to apply to the data if the input does not specify one. Can be specified as a WKT, proj.4 or EPSG string. Can’t use with ‘override_srs’. [Default: none]

discard_missing_points

Each point cloud in a PTX file is “fully populated”, in that the point cloud will contain missing points with XYZ values of “0 0 0”. When this option is enabled, we will skip over any missing input points. [Default: true]
