Extract function

Extract or Replace Parts of a LAS* Object

Operators acting on LAS* objects. However, some have modified behaviors to prevent some irrelevant modifications. Indeed, a LAS* object cannot contain anything, as the content is restricted by the LAS specifications. If a user attempts to use one of these functions inappropriately an informative error will be thrown.

Arguments

• x: A LAS* object
• name: A literal character string or a name (possibly backtick quoted).
• i: string, name of elements to extract or replace.
• j: Unused.
• ...: Unused
• value: typically an array-like R object of a similar class as x.
• drop: Unused

Examples

LASfile <- system.file("extdata", "example.laz", package="rlas")
las = readLAS(LASfile)

las$Intensity
las[["Z"]]
las[["Number of points by return"]]

## Not run:

las$Z = 2L
las[["Z"]] = 1:10
las$NewCol = 0
las[["NewCol"]] = 0
## End(Not run)
