Overview

   This factory writes out features using a specified writer.

   The WRITER_TYPE keyword specifies the writer format name.

   The WRITER_DATASET keyword specifies the dataset that will be written.
   This keyword may be specified uniquely for each input feature (e.g. by
   setting the value to an attribute). One writer will be created for each
   unique value of this keyword.

   The WRITER_PARAMS keyword specifies parameters that should be passed to the
   writer(s). The value for this keyword must be a space-delimited list of
   <name> <value> pairs. Parameters may be set by value (e.g. as attributes).
   The value used for a dataset will be taken from the first feature for that
   dataset.

   The WRITER_COORDSYS keyword specifies the coordinate system for the writer.

   For each unique dataset, one feature will be output via the SUMMARY port.
   Each feature will contain attributes according to the following keywords.

   The DATASET_ATTR keyword specifies an attribute that will be set to the
   dataset which was written by the writer.

   The FEATURE_TYPE_LIST_ATTR keyword specifies a list attribute that will
   describe each feature type. The format of this list attribute is:
      <list_attr>{}.name = <feature type name>
      <list_attr>{}.feature_count = <number of features written>

   The TOTAL_FEATURES_WRITTEN_ATTR keyword specifies an attribute that will be
   set to the total number of features written, across all feature types.
