56  * ptfilter.setFilterFieldName ("x");

60  * indices_rem = ptfilter.getRemovedIndices ();
61  * // The indices_rem array indexes all points of cloud_in that have x smaller than 0.0 or larger than 1000.0
62  * // and also indexes all non-finite points of cloud_in
63  * ptfilter.setIndices (indices_x);
64  * ptfilter.setFilterFieldName ("z");
65  * ptfilter.setFilterLimits (-10.0, 10.0);
66  * ptfilter.setNegative (true);
67  * ptfilter.filter (*indices_xz);
68  * // The indices_xz array indexes all points of cloud_in that have x between 0.0 and 1000.0 and z larger than 10.0 or smaller than -10.0

71  * ptfilter.setFilterLimits (std::numeric_limits<float>::lowest(), 0.5);
72  * ptfilter.setNegative (false);
73  * ptfilter.filter (*cloud_out);
74  * // The resulting cloud_out contains all points of cloud_in that are finite and have:
75  * // x between 0.0 and 1000.0, z larger than 10.0 or smaller than -10.0 and intensity smaller than 0.5.
