writers.nitf

The NITF format is a US Department of Defense format for the transmission of imagery. It supports various formats inside a generic wrapper. However, the PDAL NITF writer only supports LAS/LAZ data.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Pipeline version="1.0">
  <Writer type="writers.nitf">
    <Option name="filename">mynitf.nitf</Option>
    <Option name="ONAME">James Alexander</Option>
    <Option name="OPHONE">646-322-3123</Option>
    <Reader type="readers.las">
      <Option name="filename">inputfile.las</Option>
    </Reader>
  </Writer>
</Pipeline>

Options

filename
NITF file to write. The writer will accept a filename containing a single placeholder character ('#'). If input to the writer consists of multiple PointViews, each will be written to a separate file, where the placeholder will be replaced with an incrementing integer. If no placeholder is found, all PointViews provided to the writer are aggregated into a single file for output. Multiple PointViews are usually the result of using :ref:`filters.splitter` or :ref:`filters.chipper`.
