The StruMap writer creates and writes all features it is given to the file specified by the DATASET keyword. Any existing StruMap files in the folder that have the same name as the output dataset will be overwritten with the new data.
Multiple geometric types can be stored in each StruMap file. Any feature whose feature type is not specified in the mapping file will not be written to file. If no strumap_id is present, a feature is considered a single feature in the output file (as opposed to being part of an aggregate). Features that share the same ID, which pass through the writer one after another (grouped by ID prior to entering the writer), are considered a single feature when output to file. It is an additional requirement that components of a parent feature pass through the writer before their children. Otherwise, the parent and child relationship may not be realized.
The JOIN directive is not supported by the writer; in other words, features must carry all the attribution before they are passed into the writer.
