Syntax @Close([FORCE_CLOSE_Z]) @Close([HANDLE_ARCS]) Arguments FORCE_CLOSE_Z Forces the z-value to be compared, in addition to the default comparison of the x/y values, when comparing equality between the start and end point. If this is set to Yes, then the z-value will be checked to determine if the input needs closing, otherwise, only the x/y values will be checked. Range: Yes | No HANDLE_ARCS Deprecated, but must be kept for legacy purposes. Range: N/A Description This function takes a feature with linear geometry and closes it by connecting the first point with the last point. It is used to artificially close polygons with an edge missing. For example, some data sets do not include the map neat line, so any areas abutting the map edge are not closed. @Close is useful in these situations. Warning! Use this function with caution - in most situations, simply connecting the first point with the last point will not produce a valid polygon. If @Close is invoked on a feature that is already a polygon, it will do nothing. If the feature was tagged as being a line and its first and last points are the same, then this function will simply adjust the feature's fme_geometry to be fme_polygon and no change is made to the geometry.
