1This is a program to convert a CSV file of X, Y and Z values into a
2KMZ file that contains 'extruded' bars on each X,Y point, with height
3and colour of the bar coded to Z.

5Usage: xyz2kmz [<options>] <xyz_file>

7This will create file 'xyz_file.kmz' in the current directory.

9The options are:
10    -a          run generated file through Google Earth

15                (default is KMZ data)
16    -l <args>   set the 'look at' point
17                   <args> is 'lon,lat,alt,head,tilt'
18                where lon and lat are in decimal degrees
19                      alt is altitude in meters (above MSL)
20                      head is heading in decimal degrees
21                      tilt is in decimal degrees (0 down, 180 up)

24    -s <scale>  sets scale of vertical extrusion
25                (default is 50)
26    -d <delta>  sets lon/lat 'width' of bars (degrees)
