catalog_select: Select LAS files manually from a LAScatalog

Description

Select a set of LAS tiles from a LAScatalog interactively using the mouse. This function allows users to subset a LAScatalog by clicking on a map of the file.

Usage

catalog_select(
  ctg,
  mapview = TRUE,
  method = c("subset", "flag_unprocessed", "flag_processed")
)

Arguments

ctg

A LAScatalog object

mapview

logical. If FALSE, use R base plot instead of mapview (no pan, no zoom, see also plot)

method

character. By default selecting tiles that are a subset of the catalog. It is also possible to flag the files to maintain the catalog as a whole but process only a subset of its content. flag_unprocessed enables users to point and click on files that will not be processed. flag_processed enables users to point and click on files that will be processed.

Value

A LAScatalog object

Examples

# NOT RUN {
ctg = readLAScatalog("<Path to a folder containing a set of .las files>")
