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

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

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

#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:

### create the command string for lasview.exe
command = ['"'+lasview_path+'"']

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

### counting up the arguments
c = 1

### add input LiDAR
wildcards = sys.argv[c+1].split()
for wildcard in wildcards:
    command.append("-i")
    command.append('"' + sys.argv[c] + "\\" + wildcard + '"')
c = c + 2

### maybe input files are flightlines
if sys.argv[c] == "true":
    command.append("-files_are_flightlines")
c = c + 1

### maybe display different number of points
if sys.argv[c] != "5000000":
    command.append("-points")
    command.append(sys.argv[c])
c = c + 1

### which points to consider
if sys.argv[c] == "first returns":

### how to color
if sys.argv[c] == "elevation ramp 1":

c = c + 1

### maybe show control points
if sys.argv[c] != "#":
    command.append("-cp")
    command.append('"'+sys.argv[c]+'"')
c = c + 1

### maybe add the control point parse string
if sys.argv[c] != "#":
    command.append("-cp_parse")
    command.append(sys.argv[c])
c = c + 1

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

### report command string
gp.AddMessage("LAStools command line:")
command_length = len(command)
command_string = str(command[0])
command[0] = command[0].strip('"')
for i in range(1, command_length):
    command_string = command_string + " " + str(command[i])
    command[i] = command[i].strip('"')
gp.AddMessage(command_string)

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

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

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

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