Feature Representation
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.
IDRISI features consist of geometry and attributes. The attribute names are defined in the DEF line and there is a value for each attribute in each IDRISI feature. In addition, each IDIRISI feature contains several special attributes to hold the type of the geometric entity and its display parameters. All IDRISI features contain an idrisi_type attribute, which identifies the geometric type. Depending on the geometric type, the feature contains additional attributes specific to the geometric type. These are described in subsequent sections. All features contain an idrisi_id.
