Hello,
good idea. I have added the '-color_bands' functionality to achieve this. It takes as arguments a list of (increasing) elevation differences followed by a hexadecimal color value. (just google "yellow rgb code" to find out the code for the color you want to assign). Anything just (!!!) over a listed elevation difference listed gets its corresponding color. Anything under remains white.
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -color_bands 0.05 0xFF0000 -o overlap1c.png -no_over
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -color_bands 0.05 0x00FF00 0.5 0xFF0000 -o overlap2c.png -no_over
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -color_bands 0.05 0x00FF00 0.1 0xFFFF00 0.5 0xFF0000 -o overlap3c.png -no_over
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -color_bands 0.05 0x00FF00 0.1 0xFFFF00 0.25 0xFFA500 0.5 0xFF0000 -o overlap4c.png -no_over
You can also use the '-bands' functionality without assigning colors. Then lasoverlap just picks some colors for you
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -bands 0.05 -o overlap1.png -no_over
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -bands 0.05 0.5 -o overlap2.png -no_over
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -bands 0.05 0.1 0.5 -o overlap3.png -no_over
lasoverlap -i tile.laz -step 1 -bands 0.05 0.1 0.25 0.5 -o overlap4.png -no_over
