writers.text

The text writer writes out to a text file. This is useful for debugging or getting smaller files into an easily parseable format. The text writer supports both GeoJSON and CSV output.

Example

{
  "pipeline":[
    {
      "type":"readers.las",
      "filename":"inputfile.las"
    },
    {
      "type":"writers.text",
      "format":"geojson",
      "order":"X,Y,Z",
      "keep_unspecified":"false",
      "filename":"outputfile.txt"
    }
  ]
}

Options

filename
File to write to, or "STDOUT" to write to standard out [Required]
format
Output format to use. One of "geojson" or "csv". [Default: csv]
precision
Decimal Precision for output of values. This can be overridden for individual dimensions using the order option. [Default: 3]
order
Comma-separated list of dimension names in the desired output order. For example "X,Y,Z,Red,Green,Blue". Dimension names can optionally be followed with a colon (':') and an integer to indicate the precision to use for output. Ex: "X:3, Y:5,Z:0" If no precision is specified the value provided with the precision option is used. [Default: none]
keep_unspecified
If true, writes all dimensions. Dimensions specified with the order option precede those not specified. [Default: true]
jscallback
When producing GeoJSON, the callback allows you to wrap the data in a function, so the output can be evaluated in a <script> tag.
quote_header
When producing CSV, should the column header named by quoted? [Default: true]
newline
When producing CSV, what newline character should be used? (For Windows, "\r\n" is common.) [Default: \n]
delimiter
When producing CSV, what character to use as a delimiter? [Default: ,]
