    SyntheticPoints Property (LasPointDisplayFilter)
    In This Topic
    Gets and sets the synthetic points flag. Default value is true.
    Syntax
    Public Property SyntheticPoints As Boolean
    public bool SyntheticPoints {get; set;}
    Remarks
    A synthetic point is a point that was created by a process other than LiDAR collection; such as being digitized from a photogrammetric stereo model.
    Example
    Get and Set Display Filter
    {
      // Note: Needs QueuedTask to run
      {
        // get the current display filter
        LasPointDisplayFilter ptFilter = lasDatasetLayer.GetDisplayFilter();
        // display only ground points
        lasDatasetLayer.SetDisplayFilter(LasPointDisplayFilterType.Ground);
    
        // display first return points
        lasDatasetLayer.SetDisplayFilter(LasPointDisplayFilterType.FirstReturnPoints);
    
        // set display filter to a set of classification codes
        List<int> classifications = new List<int>() { 4, 5, 7, 10 };
        lasDatasetLayer.SetDisplayFilter(classifications);
    
        // set display filter to a set of returns
        List<ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasReturnType> returns = new List<ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasReturnType>()
            { ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasReturnType.ReturnFirstOfMany};
        lasDatasetLayer.SetDisplayFilter(returns);
    
        // set up a display filter
        var newDisplayFilter = new LasPointDisplayFilter();
        newDisplayFilter.Returns = new List<ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasReturnType>()
            { ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasReturnType.ReturnFirstOfMany, ArcGIS.Core.Data.Analyst3D.LasReturnType.ReturnLastOfMany};
        newDisplayFilter.ClassCodes = new List<int>() { 2, 4 };
        newDisplayFilter.KeyPoints = true;
        newDisplayFilter.WithheldPoints = false;
        newDisplayFilter.SyntheticPoints = false;
        newDisplayFilter.NotFlagged = false;
        lasDatasetLayer.SetDisplayFilter(returns);
      }
    }
