Point clouds in 2D: combine point color with another attribute

[wonder-sk]

A nice effect can be achieved if the "base" color of points (e.g. from classification renderer or from attribute by ramp renderer) is combined with a shade of gray from another attribute - especially intensity (which is available most of the time for lidar data). That gives user a better idea what is he/she actually looking at.

Maybe @lieti could share some screenshots how that effect looks like...

Point cloud of buildings by hillshade

Point clouds by intensity of reflection

Combined intensity with hillshade (buildings)

Probably best handled by exposing a data defined point color renderer
