Connects input point features in the order they enter, forming linear or polygonal features.
For some datasets, it may be necessary to use a Sorter to order the data correctly before it enters this transformer.
The feature being created is output whenever one of the Connection Break Attributes' values changes.
When this happens, the feature with the differing attribute is not added to the current output feature; instead, it begins the next feature to be output.
If only one feature was received with a given value for the connection break attribute, it will be output as a POINT.
If the feature output forms a ring (begins and ends at the same point), it is output as a POLYGON.
Anything else is output as a LINE.
If the optional List Name is supplied, a list is made of all the attributes of each point that was connected when creating the output feature. This allows later inspection of member point attributes. In addition, the feature itself will contain a merged set of attributes from all the features that were connected together, where the value for an attribute in the resulting feature comes from the first feature that had an attribute with that name that was part of the resulting feature.
If the Advanced setting Geometry Handling is set to Enhanced in the workspace, arcs will be allowed as input (treated as lines); they will otherwise be ignored.
