fmeobjects.FMEFactoryPipeline.addFactory

FMEFactoryPipeline.addFactory(factoryDef, delimiter)

This method is used to add a new factory to the end of the factory pipeline. If ‘factoryDef’ is a list of strings the factory to be added is specified as a set of tokens; one token for every whitespace-delimited string in the factory definition. Each token is represented as one entry in the ‘factoryDef’ parameter. For example, the PolygonFactory show below is be specified using 20 tokens:

  • FACTORY_DEF * PolygonFactory
  • FACTORY_NAME SamplePolygon
  • INPUT FEATURE_TYPE *
  • GROUP_BY someAttr
  • VERTEX_NODED
  • REMOVE_CORRIDORS
  • OUTPUT POLYGON FEATURE_TYPE poly
  • OUTPUT LINE FEATURE_TYPE line

If ‘factoryDef’ is a string, it specifies the factory to be added as an ASCII character string. The ‘delimiter’ parameter specifies the string to be used as delimiter when parsing the ‘factoryDef’ string for tokens.

Parameters:
  • factoryDef (list[str] or str) – Specifies the factory definition to be added.
  • delimiter ((Optional) str) – Only to be specified if ‘factoryDef’ is a string, defaults to .
Return type:

None
Raises:
