Example

The FME feature specified by the partial transfer specification below would have two linkages. The first linkage is a user linkage which specifies that the shape is to be filled with color 12, and the second linkage is a dBASE linkage which links the element to the record with the key value of 1001.

Note that if the same feature were to have an igds_fill_color attribute, its value would override the color specified in any solid fill.

MACRO fillUserId 65
MACRO fillMagic 67586
IGDS 32 igds_type igds_shape \
	igds_color 8 igds_weight 1 \
	igds_linkage{0}.type user \
	igds_linkage{0}.userId  $(fillUserId) \
	igds_linkage{0}.long{0} $(fillMagic) \
	igds_linkage{0}.long{1} 12 \
	igds_linkage{1}.type dbase \
	igds_linkage{1}.key 1001
