### create the geoprocessor object
gp = arcgisscripting.create(9.3)

### report that something is happening
gp.AddMessage("Starting lascontrol ...")

### get number of arguments
argc = len(sys.argv)

### report arguments (for debug)
#gp.AddMessage("Arguments:")

### get the path to LAStools
lastools_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])))

### make sure the path does not contain spaces
if lastools_path.count(" ") > 0:

### complete the path to where the LAStools executables are
lastools_path = lastools_path + "\\bin"

### create the command string for lascontrol.exe
command = ['"'+lascontrol_path+'"']

### maybe use '-verbose' option
if sys.argv[argc-1] == "true":
    command.append("-v")

### add input LiDAR
command.append("-i")
command.append('"'+sys.argv[1]+'"')

### add input control points
command.append("-cp")
command.append('"'+sys.argv[2]+'"')

### maybe add the control point parse string
if sys.argv[3] != "xyz":
    command.append("-parse")
    command.append(sys.argv[3])

### maybe skip a few points in the control file
if sys.argv[4] != "0":
    command.append("-skip")
    command.append(sys.argv[4])
        
### maybe use horizontal feet
if sys.argv[5] == "true":
    command.append("-feet")
    command.append(sys.argv[4])

### which points to consider
if sys.argv[6] == "only ground points":
    command.append("-keep_class")
    command.append("2")
elif sys.argv[6] == "ground and keypoints":
    command.append("-keep_class")

    command.append("8")
elif sys.argv[6] == "ground and buildings":
    command.append("-keep_class")

    command.append("6")

### maybe an output file name was selected
if sys.argv[7] != "#":
    command.append("-cp_out")
    command.append('"'+sys.argv[7]+'"')

### maybe there are additional command-line options
if sys.argv[8] != "#":
    additional_options = sys.argv[8].split()
    for option in additional_options:
        command.append(option)

### report command string
gp.AddMessage("LAStools command line:")
command_length = len(command)

gp.AddMessage(command_string)

### run command
returncode,output = check_output(command, False)

### report output of lascontrol
gp.AddMessage(str(output))

### check return code
if returncode != 0:
    gp.AddMessage("Error. lascontrol failed.")
    sys.exit(1)

### report happy end
gp.AddMessage("Success. lascontrol done.")
