Force lasFileReader to read more decimal points

Hello guys! Currently, I am having issues when trying to read in las point clouds, probably due to precision errors, when reading in the data using the lasFileReader. I am reading in and plotting the point clouds as follows: mytree = readPointCloud(lasFileReader('points.las')); P = mytree.Location; pcshow(P);

As can be seen in the image above, the point cloud values are binned. But when I read in the same point cloud in txt format, everything works: P = readtable('points.txt'); P = table2array(P(:,1:3)); pcshow(P);

I don't want to have every point cloud two times on my drive. How can I force Matlab to read in more decimal points to avoid these errors? And why does it work, when using point clouds in the txt format? I know that I could probably transform the coordinate system of the point clouds (they are currently in WGS84, UTM32), but I don't want to take the extra step, if possible. Edit: The las file does not seem to be the issue here. Both CloudCompare and R can load and display the point cloud from the las file correctly.

Can you share a las file and corresponding txt file where you see this behavior?

Thank you for your answer! I added a zip with a downsampled point cloud both in the las and the txt format. I checked that I see the behavior with this point cloud.
