Description

Functions that update a header to describe variable length records according to the LAS specifications

Usage

header_add_extrabytes(header, data, name, desc)
header_add_extrabytes_manual(header, name, desc, type, offset = NULL,
  scale = NULL, max = NULL, min = NULL, NA_value = NULL)

Arguments

header

list

data

vector. Data that must be added in the extrabytes attributes.

name

character. The name of the extrabytes attributes to add in the file.

desc

character. The description of the extrabytes attributes to add in the file.

type

integer. The data type of the extrabytes attributes (page 25 of the spec).

scale, offset

numeric. The scale and offset of the data. NULL if not relevant.
