Writer Directives

The directives that are processed by the JPEG 2000 writer are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <WriterKeyword>_ in a mapping file. By default, the <WriterKeyword> for the JPEG 2000 writer is JPEG2000. The JPEG 2000 writer distinguishes duplicate output files by appending numbers to the filenames.

Please see About FME Rasters for details.

DATASET

The value for this keyword is the path of the output folder where the data will be written.

JPEG2000_DATASET “C:\DATA\JPEG2000\OUTPUT”

Workbench Parameter

Destination JPEG 2000 Folder

WRITE_OFFSETS_IN_CS_UNITS

When the value is set to Yes, the coordinate system offsets will be written to the embedded GeoTIFF file in the linear units of the projection. This is correct according to the GeoTIFF specification.

When set to No, the coordinate system offsets will be written in meters. This is what is actually done in practice by many software packages.

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Offsets in Coordinate System Units

WRITE_GEOGRAPHIC_KEYS_FOR_PROJECTED_COORDSYS

Specifies whether geographic coordinate system keys written to the embedded GeoTIFF (for example, GeographicTypeGeoKey, GeogCitationGeoKey, etc.) should be written for projected coordinate systems.

Generally it is not harmful to write these keys, but some standards may require these keys be omitted for projected coordinate systems.

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Write Geographic Keys for Projected Coordinate Systems

WRITE_PROJECTED_COORDSYS_AS_EPSG_CODE

The projected coordinate system in the embedded GeoTIFF may be stored either by specifying an EPSG code or by marking the coordinate system as user-defined.

Some software packages may have better compatibility with one of these methods over the other.

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Write Projected Coordinate System as EPSG Code

WRITE_GEOGRAPHIC_COORDSYS_AS_EPSG_CODE

The geographic coordinate system in the embedded GeoTIFF may be stored either by specifying an EPSG code or by marking the coordinate system as user-defined.

Some software packages may have better compatibility with one of these methods over the other.

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Write Geographic Coordinate System as EPSG Code

WRITE_ESRI_COMPATIBLE_COORDSYS

This option attempts to adjust some coordinate system geokeys in the embedded GeoTIFF to have better compatibility with Esri applications.

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Write Esri-Compatible Coordinate System
