Selecting particular layer for rasterizing in command line

[jagadish]

I am new to processing in cloudCompare using the command line. Is there any command for rasterizing a particular layer in the point cloud?

I believe you have to select the right scalar field first (with -SET_ACTIVE_SF) and then export the raster with Z and the current scalar field (-OUTPUT_RASTER_Z_AND_SF).

What I've noticed when rasterizing SF is that if you raster the SF layer the .tga output seems to differ from when you convert SF to RGB and then Raster RGB. May be it contains extra needed data but in my case I needed like RGB SF rather than containing additional data.
