catalog_select {lidR} | R Documentation

## Select LAS files manually from a LAScatalog

### Description

Select a set of LAS tiles from a LAScatalog interactively using the mouse. This function allows users to subset a LAScatalog by clicking on a map of the file.

### Usage

    catalog_select(
      ctg,
      mapview = TRUE,
      method = c("subset", "flag_unprocessed", "flag_processed")
    )

### Arguments

`ctg` | A LAScatalog object
`mapview` | logical. If `FALSE`, use R base plot instead of mapview (no pan, no zoom, see also plot)
`method` | character. By default selecting tiles that are a subset of the catalog. It is also possible to flag the files to maintain the catalog as a whole but process only a subset of its content. `flag_unprocessed` enables users to point and click on files that will not be processed. `flag_processed` enables users to point and click on files that will be processed.

### Value

A LAScatalog object

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    ctg = readLAScatalog("<Path to a folder containing a set of .las files>")
    new_ctg = catalog_select(ctg)

    ## End(Not run)
