pcexport

int  pcexport(int handle, string channel_name, <type>value, ...)

int  pcexport(int handle, string channel_name, vector value, float radius, ...)

Returns 1 if the export succeeded or 0 if the export failed. The export will fail if channel_name is not read-write or if (in the version of pcexport taking a radius) the point being exported is at a distance less than the specified radius from a point that is already in the point cloud.

This function writes to the channels of points opened with pcopen or pcgenerate. The second version of this function takes a radius parameter and uses it to accept or reject the point being exported according to its distance to the points that are already in the point cloud. It must be separated from all other points by at least the specified radius. To write new point data into a point cloud file, use pcwrite. Storage type

storage-type

If you add the "storage" optional keyword, the next argument specifies a storage type for the data. Storage types are the standard tile based format data types:

int8, uint8	8 bit signed/unsigned integers
int16, uint16	16 bit signed/unsigned integers
int32, uint32	32 bit signed/unsigned integers
int64, uint64	64 bit signed/unsigned integers
real16	16 bit floating point values
real32	32 bit floating point values
real64	64 bit floating point values
int, uint, real	Default precision integer/floating point values
