This tool can be used to isolate, or clip, all of the LiDAR points in a LAS file (`input`) contained within one or more vector polygon features. The user must specify the name of the input clip file (--polygons), which must be a vector of a Polygon base shape type. The clip file may contain multiple polygon features and polygon hole parts will be respected during clipping, i.e. LiDAR points within polygon holes will be removed from the output LAS file.

Use the erase_polygon_from_lidar tool to perform the complementary operation of removing points from a LAS file that are contained within a set of polygons.
