Points

grd_type: grd_point

GRD point features represent single point features and may be either 2D or 3D. These features have the following special attributes associated with them.

Attribute Name	Contents
grd_virtual_size	This is the size the point should appear when plotted. Range: Any real number
grd_point_type	This is the symbology of the point when plotted. The value here may be the sum of any one of the internal types and any one of the outline types. Internal Types: 0 = dot 1 = none 2 = plus 3 = cross 4 = vertical line Outline Types: 0 = none 32 = circle 64 = square 96 = cirsquare Range: 0 - 100

grd_virtual_size

This is the size the point should appear when plotted.

Range: Any real number

grd_point_type

This is the symbology of the point when plotted. The value here may be the sum of any one of the internal types and any one of the outline types.

Internal Types:

0 = dot

1 = none

2 = plus

3 = cross

4 = vertical line

Outline Types:

0 = none

32 = circle

64 = square

96 = cirsquare

grd_type: grd_ink

GRD ink features represent a raster picture or image. Their geometry is a point that indicates the lower-left point where the ink should be located. Ink features may have the following special attributes associated with them.

Attribute Name	Contents
grd_ink_data	This attribute contains the ink data. This is usually binary data stored in a string attribute, so typical string manipulation with this attribute may not be appropriate.
grd_width	This is the width of the ink data. Range: Any real number
grd_height	This is the height of the ink data. Range: Any real number

grd_type: grd_insert

GRD insert features represent a block of features linked together. The geometry of this point consists of a point that indicates the location of the insert block. Inserts may also have any number of attributes associated with them (as defined in the block definition of the file). These attributes will appear on the feature with the attribute names as defined. When writing insert attributes to GRD files, attributes with the prefix grd_insert_attribute{N} are first searched for necessary information. If these attributes are not found, then attributes with the prefix fme_attrib_info{N} are sought. Insert features may also have the following special attributes associated with them.

Attribute Name	Contents
grd_block_name	This attribute contains the name of the insert that holds all associated vectors together. If used with a <reader keyword>_TEMPLATE_FILE setting when writing GRD files, inserts may use blocks that have already been defined elsewhere. Maximum size is 254 characters.
grd_rotation	This is the rotation of the insert block, in degrees counterclockwise. Note: Ellipses must have a rotation that is a multiple of 90 degrees. Therefore, when writing out to GRD, if an insert refers to a block that has an ellipse in its definition, the rotation of the insert is rounded to the nearest multiple of 90 degrees when it is output. Range: 0 .. 360.0
grd_scale_x grd_scale_y grd_scale_z	This is the scale of the insert block—a scaling factor applied to the ground units that block is defined in. Either the scale or the size of inserts must be specified. Range: Any real number
grd_size_x grd_size_y grd_size_z	This is the desired size of the insert block’s bounding box, in ground units. Either the scale or the size of inserts must be specified. If both are specified, the size settings are ignored. Range: Any real number

grd_insert_attribute{N}.field_type fme_attrib_info{N}.field_type	These list attributes hold the type of the Nth attribute. 1=DOUBLE 2=LONG 3=STRING 4=LOGICAL 5=DATE 6=TIME (unsupported) 7=MONEY (unsupported) 8=MEMO 9=BLOB 10=DATETIME (unsupported) Range: integer Default: 3

The GRD attribute holds the color based on GRD color codes. The FME attributes hold the color in RGB values, ranged between 0.0 and 1.0. Range: integer (GRD color); real number 0.0-1.0 (FME color
grd_insert_attribute{N}.locationX grd_insert_attribute{N}.locationY grd_insert_attribute{N}.locationZ fme_attrib_info{N}.location_x fme_attrib_info{N}.location_y fme_attrib_info{N}.location_z	These list attributes hold the plotting location of the Nth attribute. Range: real number

Attribute Name
