Writer Directives – Geodatabase Raster

This section describes the directives the Geodatabase writer module recognizes when writing raster datasets.

COMPRESSION_TYPE

This directive determines the type of compression to use on raster data being mosaicked.

Required/Optional

Required

Values

LZW | JPEG | JPEG2000 | NONE

Default Value

NONE

Mapping File Syntax

GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_COMPRESSION_TYPE JPEG2000

Workbench Parameter

Compression Type

COMPRESSION_QUALITY

This directive determines the compression quality, with higher values indicating improved quality.

Required/Optional

Required

Mapping File Syntax

GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_COMPRESSION_QUALITY 95

Values

Positive integer (default value is 0)

Workbench Parameter

Compression Quality

PYRAMID_RESAMPLE_TYPE

This directive determines the resampling type to be used when generating reduced resolution pyramids on the destination raster dataset.

Required/Optional

Required

Mapping File Syntax

GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_PYRAMID_RESAMPLE_TYPE BILINEAR

Values

NEAREST (default) | BILINEAR | CUBIC

Nearest Neighbor is the default value, which provides the fastest output but the poorest quality. Cubic Convolution provides the best quality, but can reduce performance when writing.

Workbench Parameter

Pyramid Resampling Method

PYRAMID_LEVEL

This directive specifies the number of reduced resolution pyramids to build. More pyramids enable better performance when viewing raster data using FME and Esri products.

Required/Optional

Required

Values

positive integer

Default Value: 0

Mapping File Syntax

GEODATABASE_FILE_RASTER_DATASET_PYRAMID_LEVEL 10

Workbench Parameter

Pyramid Level
