WriterDirectives

The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <WriterKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <WriterKeyword> for the ASTM E57 writer is E57.

DATASET

The path of the output folder where the data will be written.

COMPONENT_MAP

This directive maps each E57 element names to FME point cloud components.

Values

<E57 element name, FME component name>+

Required/Optional

Workbench Parameter

DEFAULT_RASTER_FORMAT

This directive sets the underlying format to which rasters will be written. This may be overridden at the geometry level by setting the e57_raster_format trait.

Values

PNGRASTER , JPEG

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Default Raster Format

WRITE_INTEGER_COORDINATES

This directive specifies whether coordinates should be written as integers instead of floating point values. Writing integer coordinates will produce smaller files, but values may be less accurate.

Note that this affects all E57 elements that are mapped from fmepc_x, fmepc_y, or fmepc_z. It will not affect any elements mapped from other FME components. For example, if this option was set to Yes and fmepc_intensity was mapped to cartesianX, cartesianX would still be written as floating point.

Values

YES | NO

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter
