     This determines the maximum number of points to hold in memory at any given time. Once this number is exceeded the points will be written to the hard drive which is much slower then RAM. This only concerns the quadtree and LAG is going to use much more together with OpenGL buffer and Gtk application. This value should be set roughly to 25% of you total available memory. Setting it too high will result in system memory swapping and setting it too low will result in quadtree uncaching data to hard drive. Note that points stored in memory are roughly 40% bigger then stored in the LAS files, so loading a 1GB file requires 1.4GB buffer.
 * **Ascii files**
-    To load ascii files you need to provide the parse string that gives the order and number of columns in the ascii file and scale factors for x, y and z. The default laslib scale factors for text files are 0.01.
