ReturnNumber
NumberOfReturns
ScanDirectionFlag
EdgeOfFlightline
Classification
ScanAngle
UserData
PointSourceID
3 other fields can be computed is desired:
slot @data:
pulseID: a unique identifying number for each pulse so the
beam origin of each point is known (see laspulse)
flightlineID: a unique identifying number for the flightline
so the flightline origin of each point is known (see lasflightline)
color: the hexadecimal name of the color of the point if R, G and B
fields exist (see lascolor)
A LAS object also contains a slot @header which contains the
