Creating a file with a naked header.Header() doesn't seem to work about laspy HOT 7 CLOSED

Hmm, copied your script and it seems to work for me. I tried:

    python simulate.py junk.las
    python simulate.py junk2.las
    lasverify junk.las junk2.las

It spit out what seemed to be reasonable output, so the resulting files appear to be valid, at least to laspy on my system. Are you getting errors I'm not seeing, or did I misunderstand the issue?

Must somehow be my system (osx with python 2.7). I'll try on linux or somewhere else to confirm.

Was using linux (Mint 14), but tried it out on osx 10.6 w/ python 2.7 and reproduced the error. The script exits without producing a file. Perhaps numpy related? I'll look into this more tomorrow afternoon.

It seems to me that the mmap isn't getting flushed before it is closed.

If I give it a HeaderManager that I copied from another file instead of a naked Header object, it works. I wonder why...

from laspy.

Well I'm stumped again. The behavior I saw last night was due to me not copying the last lines

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

so it's no surprise that it didn't do anything when I called the script! Tried again just now and everything worked fine. I'll go see if I can find any problems on windows.

Edit: seems to work fine on my windows machine as well. Are you running the latest version?

from laspy.

Weird. I'll keep digging..
