Description: Read and write 'las' and 'laz' binary file formats. The LAS file format is a public file format for the interchange of 3-dimensional point cloud data between data users. The LAS specifications are approved by the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing <https://community.asprs.org/leadership-restricted/leadership-content/public-documents/standards>. The LAZ file format is an open and lossless compression scheme for binary LAS format versions 1.0 to 1.4 <https://laszip.org/>.
