Reader Directives

The directives that are processed by the Planet reader are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword>_ in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the Planet reader is PLANET.

DATASET

Required/Optional: Required

The value for this directive is the name of a single Planet project definition file. The normal extension for Planet project definition files is .def.

An example of the DATASET directive in use is:

PLANET_DATASET C:\DATA\PLANET\project1.def

Workbench Parameter: Source Marconi PlaNet File(s)

DEF

Required/Optional: Required

Each Planet data format must be defined before it can be read. These formats are defined as feature types using the DEF directive.

The six feature type DEF directives for Planet data are: Height, Clutter, CDMA, Array, Vector, and Validation.

An example of the DEF directive in use is:

PLANET_DEF Clutter

IDs

This optional specification is used to limit the available and defined Planet types read. If no IDs are specified, then all available Planet types are read.

The syntax of the IDs directive is:

<ReaderKeyword>_IDs <typeDefName1> \
	<typeDefName2> ... \
	<typeDefNameN>

The example below selects only the Clutter and Height types for input during a translation:

PLANET_IDs Clutter Height

Required/Optional

Optional

SEARCH_ENVELOPE

Using the minimum and maximum x and y parameters, define a bounding box that will be used to filter the input features. Only features that interact with the bounding box are returned.

If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as 0, the search envelope will be disabled.

Mapping File Syntax

<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE <minX> <minY> <maxX> <maxY>

Note: If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as zero, the search envelope will be disabled.

Required/Optional

Optional

Workbench Parameter

Minimum X, Minimum Y, Maximum X, Maximum Y

SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM

This directive specifies the coordinate system of the search envelope if it is different than the coordinate system of the data.

The COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive, which specifies the coordinate system associated with the data to be read, must always be set if the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive is set.

If this directive is set, the minimum and maximum points of the search envelope are reprojected from the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM to the reader COORDINATE_SYSTEM prior to applying the envelope.

Required/Optional

Optional

Mapping File Syntax

<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM <coordinate system>

Workbench Parameter

Search Envelope Coordinate System

CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE

This directive specifies whether or not FME should clip features to the envelope specified in the SEARCH_ENVELOPE directive.

Values

YES | NO (default)

Mapping File Syntax

<ReaderKeyword>_CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE [yes | no]

Workbench Parameter

Clip To Envelope
