        Examples
        --------
        
        Directly read and write las
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import pylas
        
            las = pylas.read('filename.las')
            las.points = las.points[las.classification == 2]
            las.write('ground.laz')
        
        Open data to inspect header (opening only reads the header and vlrs)
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import pylas
        
            with pylas.open('filename.las') as f:
                print(f"Point format:       {f.header.point_format}")
                print(f"Number of points:   {f.header.point_count}")
                print(f"Number of vlrs:     {len(f.header.vlrs)}")
        
        Use the 'chunked' reading & writing features
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import pylas
        
            with pylas.open('big.laz') as input_las:
                with pylas.open('ground.laz', mode="w", header=input_las.header) as ground_las:
                    for points in input_las.chunk_iterator(2_000_000):
                        ground_las.write_points(points[points.classification == 2])
        
        Appending points to existing file
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import pylas
        
            with pylas.open('big.laz') as input_las:
                with pylas.open('ground.laz', mode="a") as ground_las:
                    for points in input_las.chunk_iterator(2_000_000):
                        ground_las.append_points(points[points.classification == 2])

        -------------
        
        Documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs_ .

        Dependencies & Requirements
        ---------------------------
        
        Supported CPython versions are: 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
        
        pylas supports LAS natively, to support LAZ it needs one of its supported backend to be installed:
        
        - lazrs
        - laszip
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        .. code-block:: shell
        
            pip install pylas # without LAZ support
            # Or
            pip install pylas[laszip] # with LAZ support via LASzip
            # Or
            pip install pylas[lazrs] # with LAZ support via lazrs
        
        
        See the Installation_ section of the documentation for details:
