Point cloud info in command line

Hello,

Is it possible to get general info of the point cloud loaded in command line? Eg: number of points, min X, max X, min Y, max Y, ...?

Il might help to use the -CROP command after.

Thanks,

Nope. Can you develop on this maybe? What are you willing to do exactly?

If I know the minimum and maximum in z, I would like to do "slices" of a thichness of 0.5 m (with the -crop command) each 1 meter along the z axis of my point cloud.
For my loop, I need to know the minimum and maximum in z.

Ok, not 0.5m of thichness each 1 m! This was not a good example! But somthing like thichness of 0.2 m each 1 meter.

Ok. The current version (2.6.2.beta - 'CleanMeshCutter' branch) has a new command line option that allows to apply the 'Crop' algorithm in this way (with automatic repetition, etc.). It can even start from relative coordinates (i.e. 'min' or 'max' bounding-box coordinates). The command name will be 'CROSS_SECTION' (it relies on a XML file for the parameters as it requires too much parameters/options).

So if you are able to compile this version on your side, you can take a look at the code in 'ccCommandLineParser::commandCrossSection' to figure out how it works. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the next version (with an updated documentation ;).

For proper 'release notes' you'll have to wait for the official release.

But meanwhile you can look at the 'history.txt' file next to the executable.
