Writer Overview

FME provides separate writers to write Z-Map files: a Landmark Z-Map Vector writer, and a Landmark Z-Map Grid writer.

  • Vector Data: Use the Landmark Z-Map Vector writer.
  • Raster Data: Use the Landmark Z-Map Grid writer.

This writer documentation applies only to the Z-Map Grid writer. Refer to the Landmark Z-Map Vector writer documentation for information about writing non-raster data.

Writer Characteristics

  • FME considers a dataset to be a folder name. This folder does not have to exist before you run the translation: FME will create it.
  • The feature type of each dataset is the filename. Note that any existing files in the folder that have the same name are overwritten with the new feature data.
  • The Z-Map Grid writer distinguishes duplicate output files by appending numbers to the filenames.
  • The Z-Map Grid writer converts all values to REAL64 before writing.

Please see About FME Rasters for additional information.
