Convert from CSV¶

A target point definition can be created by importing the point coordinates from a variable column CSV file. Coordinate and point name columns are mandatory.

Requirements¶

Target point coordinates in CSV format

Examples¶

Importing coordinates¶

iman convert csv-targets -c pt -c e -c n -c h targets.csv targets.json

Importing targets with matching prisms and target heights¶

iman convert csv-targets -c pt -c e -c n -c h --reflector MINI --height 0.12 targets.csv targets.json

Importing coordinates but ignoring second (possibly code) column in CSV¶

iman convert csv-targets -c pt -c ignore -c e -c n -c h targets.csv targets.json

Usage¶

iman convert csv-targets¶

Convert a CSV file containing coordinates to a target definition.

The order and data of columns can be given by specifying the column option multiple times. For a successful import the point name (pt), easting (e), northing (n) and height (h) must be specified.

If the CSV does not contain a prism column and the prism option was not set, the value will be prompted for at every point. Same applies to the target height.
