Filters aggregate features based on the type of aggregate.
If the aggregate is set up such that each part is independent from the others, and should be interpreted as its own complete geometry, then the feature will be sent to the Contains port.
Aggregates that do not match the criteria for Contains will be sent to the NotContains port.
This transformer works only on aggregates, so features containing any other geometry type will be sent to the Invalid output port.
It may be useful to know whether a feature contains multiple geometries when the source dataset supports the notion of multiple independent geometries per feature but the destination dataset does not.
In this case, it may be desirable to split up the feature into multiple separate features.
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
