Feature Representation
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.
The geometry of an FME XML feature may be identified by its xml_type attribute. The valid values for this attribute are:
xml_type |
Description |
xml_no_geom |
FME Feature with no geometry. |
xml_point |
Point feature or an aggregate of point features. |
xml_line |
Linear feature or an aggregate of linear features. |
xml_area |
Areal feature; may be a donut, or an aggregate of areal features. |
xml_text |
Text feature. |
xml_surface |
Surface feature, may contain gaps. |
xml_solid |
Solid feature, may contain voids. |
xml_aggregate |
A feature whose geometry is a possibly heterogenous aggregate. |
Other attributes, including the feature’s feature type, are dependent on the mappings that are defined in an xfMap document.
