Arguments

   REMOVE_TRAITS  
   
      Designation to remove traits from geometry.

      Range: N/A   
      
   SET_TRAITS  
   
      Designation to copy attributes from the feature onto the geometry as 
      traits.

      Range: N/A   
      
   FETCH_TRAITS   
   
      Designation to copy a geometry's traits onto a feature as attributes.

      Range: N/A   
      
   SET_TRAITS_LIST   
   
      Similar purpose as SET_TRAITS except that the input will include a list of 
      attributes.

      Range: N/A   
      
   FETCH_TRAITS_LIST 
   
      Similar purpose as FETCH_TRAITS except that the input will include a list 
      of traits.

      Range: N/A   
      
   <regexp> 
   
      Regular expression specifying which traits/attributes to copy over to the 
      feature/geometry, or which traits to delete. If not specified, all 
      traits/attributes will be copied or deleted.

      Range: String   
      
   <overwriteExisting>  
   
      Determines whether to overwrite pre-existing traits/attributes when using 
      the SET or FETCH functionality. Default is set to yes.

      Range: yes|no   
      
   <prefix> 
   
      Prepended to the new attribute when it is copied over from the geometry by 
      the Fetcher

      Range: String   
      
   <attrList>  
   
      Space delimited list of attributes that are to be copied over to the 
      geometry as traits.

      Range: String   
      
   <traitName> 
   
      Name of trait to copy over to the feature as an attribute.

      Range: String   
      
Description

   Geometry traits are similar to attributes on a feature; they are defined as 
   any kind of user-defined data that is stored onto a geometry. Previously data 
   such as this could only be stored at the feature level, but now each separate 
   geometry can hold their own specific data. This capability is useful for 
   situations where geometries are combined or split apart within features. 

   There are three ways to manipulate geometry traits via this function. The 
   simplest allows the removal of traits from the geometry by either using a 
   regular expression, or via a string expression that filters out the relevant 
   traits to remove. By default all traits are removed unless otherwise 
   specified. The other two uses of the function allow data to be copied between 
   the feature and the geometry, using the Set and Fetch operations. During Set, 
   feature attributes are copied over to the geometry as traits, and during 
   Fetch the opposite occurs. By default all attributes or traits will be copied 
   over unless otherwise specified by using a regular expression, a space-
   delimited list of attributes (Set), or a comma-delimited list of traits 
   (Fetch). By design, the transformers that invoke this function will use 
   regular expressions as input. As well, by default, the option to overwrite 
   pre-existing traits/attributes is always set to True unless otherwise 
   specified.
