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.

Special FME attributes are used to hold the parameters specific to MOEP features. The MOEP writer uses these attributes to define aspects of the geometries of the features it writes out, and the MOEP reader will define these attributes from the MOEP features it reads.

One of these attributes is an optional user attribute which can contain up to 66 characters of arbitrary data.

FME considers the ID of the MOEP file to be the FME feature type of an MOEP feature. The feature type of an MOEP feature must match the ID of an MOEP file defined by an MOEP DEF line.

Every MOEP feature, regardless of its geometry type, shares the parameters shown in the following table.

Attribute Name

Contents

moep_type

The type of the geometry for the feature. This attribute will contain one of:

moep_line

moep_contour_line

moep_point

moep_text

moep_arc

moep_code

Character string with up to 10 characters designating the feature code of the feature. If this is not specified for a feature being written, the feature will have the same feature code as the feature which was most recently written to the MOEP file.

moep_attribute

An optional attribute (MOEP type 05 feature) which can contain up to 66 characters of arbitrary text. (See also the moep_font, moep_weight, and moep_text_group attributes defined on moep_text features.)

These topics describe the parameters specific to each feature type:

Line Features

Contour Features

Point Features

Arc Features

Text Features
