fmeobjects.FMEGeometryTools.refineArea

FMEGeometryTools.refineArea(area, refineType)

See the documentation for refineGeometry(). Bitmask elements are defined in Refine Area Type.

Parameters:

• area (FMEArea) – The area to refine.

• refineType (int) – One of: FME_RA_PATH_CONCAT_LINES, FME_RA_PATH_EXTRACT_SINGLE_LINES, FME_RA_PATH_EXTRACT_SINGLE_ARCS, FME_RA_ARC_STANDARDIZE, FME_RA_ARC_STROKE, FME_RA_AREA_STANDARDIZE, FME_RA_LINE_REMOVE_DUPLICATE_COORDS, or FME_RA_LINE_REMOVE_DUPLICATE_COORDS_Z.

Return type:

FMEArea

Returns:

The refined area. Note: This method returns a terminal geometry type of the FMEArea; i.e. one of the leaf classes in the FMEArea inheritance graph. For example, a FMEPolygon is returned if the geometry truly is a polygon.

Raises:

FMEException – An exception is raised if an error occurred.
