Rui, I intentionally put question mark to indicate it's open question for me as well. The nature of LiDAR data might be confusing and I'm interested to learn more about it. Dale Lutz said, "point cloud is a badly behaved raster". I (used to) say, it's not a vector. But I still haven't found clear answer "what is it" really :) Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
