The transformer creates a triangulation of input polygons and donuts and assigns each overlapping region or gap region to one of the adjacent areas.
Any invalid features, such as non-area geometries, are output through this port.
Features that have been cleaned up are output through this port.
Longest Boundary: The polygon with the longest border length to the conflict will be chosen.
Random: The polygon to merge a conflicting region into will be selected at random.
Priority (Edge Preserving): Allows control of the priority of individual polygons in the repair process. This method is used in conjunction with the Priority Attribute parameter.
Priority (Area Enlarging): Allows control of the priority of individual polygons in the repair process. This method is used in conjunction with the Priority Attribute parameter.
Priority (Edge Preserving): The Priority Attribute should be a non-negative integer value, with 0 meaning highest priority. The boundary of the higher priority polygon is preserved in this mode. Gaps between polygons will be assigned to the lower priority neighboring polygon, and overlaps will be assigned to the higher priority neighboring polygon.
Priority (Area Enlarging): The Priority Attribute should be a non-negative integer value, with 0 meaning highest priority. The area of the higher priority polygon will be enlarged in this mode. Gaps and overlaps between polygons will be assigned to the higher priority neighboring polygon.
This transformer requires clean, valid data. For example, self-intersecting, or degenerate polygons will not be properly repaired.
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.
