Arguments

   <xMinAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the minimum value of the feature along
      the X axis.

      Range: String

   <xMaxAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the maximum value of the feature along
      the X axis.

      Range: String

   <yMinAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the minimum value of the feature along
      the Y axis.

      Range: String

   <yMaxAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the maximum value of the feature along
      the Y axis.

      Range: String

   <zMinAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the minimum value of the feature along
      the Z axis.

      Range: String

   <zMaxAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the maximum value of the feature along
      the Z axis.

      Range: String

   GEOMETRIC

      If specified, the geometric bounding box will be returned.

      Range: N/A

   <shortAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the length of the shortest side of the
      bounding box.

      Range: String

   <longAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the length of the longest side of the
      bounding box.

      Range: String

   <angleAttr>

      The name of the attribute assigned the angle of the longest side of the
      minimum oriented bounding box. Its value will always be in the range [0,180).

      Range: String

Description

   This function extracts the bounds of a feature. It determines the extreme
   values of the feature in each of the x and y (and optionally z) axes, and
   assigns these values to the attribute names passed in as arguments.

   The zMinAttr and zMaxAttr are optional, and are set to the minimum values on
   the Z axis of the feature. If the feature has only two dimensions, both
   zMinAttr and zMaxAttr will be set to 0.

   Normally the @Bounds function considers the bounding box of the feature to be
   the bounding box of all the coordinates in the feature. If the last argument
   to the function is the string GEOMETRIC, the function will return the
   geometric bounding box of the feature, which in the case of some point
   features may be different. For example, text features only have a single
   coordinate (to specify their location), so normally their bounding box only
   contains that single point. However, if the GEOMETRIC flag is specified, the
   returned bounding box will contain the entire feature, as if it were rendered
   with a fixed-width font at its given height.

   When using the GEOMETRIC flag, please note that the generic form of any
   geometry attributes are required to exist on the feature in order to properly
   determine the bounds. For example, a text feature should have an fme_type
   attribute with a value of fme_text, and other geometry attributes that
   describe a text geometry such as fme_text_string, should also be present.

   If MIN_BOUNDING is specified as the first parameter, the function will
   compute the minimum oriented bounding box instead of the axis-aligned or
   rectilinear bounding box.

TO BE RESOLVED

   MIN_BOUNDING is not documented in the Arguments section.
