Description: # Laspy
        
        Laspy is a python library for reading, modifying and creating LAS LiDAR
        files.
        
        ## Introduction
        
        Laspy is a pythonic library for reading, modifying and writing LAS
        files. Support for LAZ files rely on the external libraries LASzip and LAStools and is limited to reading LAS version 1.0-1.3 files.
        Laspy is compatible with Python 2.6+ and 3.5+.
        
        Laspy includes a set of command line tools which can be used to do basic
        file operations like format translation and validation as well as
        comparing LAS files.
        
        ## Example
        
        A simple example to show the basics of Laspy. Here we create an output
        file that only consists of terrain points from the input file:
        
        ```python
        from laspy.file import File
        
        inFile = File('/path/to/file.las', mode='r')
        
        I = inFile.Classification == 2
        
        outFile = File('/path/to/output.las', mode='w', header=inFile.header)
        outFile.points = inFile.points[I]
        outFile.close()
        ```
        
        API Documentation and tutorials are available at
        [ReadTheDocs](https://laspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
        
        ## Installation
        
        Laspy can be installed either with `pip`:
        
        ```
        pip install laspy
        ```
        
        or by running the setup script included in the source distribution:
        
        ```
        python setup.py build --user
        python setup.py install --user
        ```
        
        Laspy is only dependent on numpy and should therefore work on Linux, OS
        X and Windows as long as a working installation of numpy is available.
        
        To install LASzip and LAStools for LAZ support on Unix systems:
        ```
        git clone https://github.com/LASzip/LASzip.git
        cd LASzip
        git checkout 3.4.3
        cmake .
        make
        sudo make install
        ```
        and
        ```
        wget http://lastools.org/download/LAStools.zip
        unzip LAStools.zip
        cd LAStools
        make
        sudo cp bin/laszip /usr/local/bin
        sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/laszip /usr/local/bin laszip-cli
        ```
