* \file rdb-example-08-invert-points.cpp
* \author RIEGL LMS GmbH, Austria
* \brief RDB example 8: Invert points
* \version 2016-11-14/AW: Initial version
* \version 2018-07-10/AW: Use RIEGL default point attribute constants
*
* This example shows how to open an existing database and to invert
* a point attribute by switching the "riegl.selected" and "riegl.visible"
* bits from 0 to 1 and vice-versa ("bit flip").
* Please note that this could also be accomplished by combining select and
* update queries as shown in "rdb-example-4-update-points.cpp", but the
* invert query might be faster (lower processing time) and easier to use.
* This example is based on the database of rdb-example-1-create-database.
*
* Build instructions see "interface/cpp/riegl/README.TXT".
