Description

The number of synthetic points, as defined by the LAS specification, that belong to the selected lidar return type. Since synthetic points are added to LAS files in a post-process, and are not associated with any laser pulses, the return number(s) associated with them are undefined. Generally, it's expected they'll be set to 1 since LAS readers are likely to expect return values in the range 1-5 and may fail with anything else (e.g., 0).
