Areas

flash_type: flash_area

Flash area features specify various polygon features. The areas that make up a single feature may or may not be disjoint.

Note: The flash linewidth and linecolor now refer to the border lines of the closed polygons. Any closed area can be used as a button for events so long is it has not undergone any transformations, i..e., rotation, scaling or translation.

The following table lists the special FME attribute names used to control the flash area settings.
