**************************************************************** laspublish: Creates a LiDAR portal for 3D visualization (and optionally also for downloading) of LAS and LAZ files in any modern Web browser using the WebGL Potree from Markus Schuetz.

For this example command line here >> laspublish -i tiles/*.laz -odir aaaaa -o bbbbb.html -olaz this subfolder needs to be located in this exact location ./aaaaa/pointclouds/bbbbb/source so that all links from the download map will correctly link to the original LAZ files --------------- if you find bugs let me (martin.isenburg@rapidlasso.com) know.
