Feature Representation

PHOCUS features consist of geometry and feature code information. All PHOCUS FME features contain the phocus_type attribute that identifies the geometric type.

In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes described in this section.

Attribute Name	Contents
phocus_type	The PHOCUS geometric type of this entity. Range: phocus_point\| phocus_line\| phocus_area\| phocus_text Default: No default
phocus_visibility	This attribute is specified when the PHOCUS reader is run with the directive SPLIT_INVISIBLE_LINES set to Yes. The attribute indicates if the line is either visible or invisible. If this attribute is specified when features are written and the value is invisible, then the feature is written to the file such that it is not displayed.
