MapInfo MIF/MID Feature Representation

MIF features consist of geometry and attributes. The attribute names are defined in the DEF line and there is a value for each attribute in each MIF feature. In addition, each MIF feature contains several special attributes to hold the type of the geometric entity and its display parameters.

All MIF features contain the mif_type attribute, which identifies the geometric type. All MIF features may contain either or both of the fme_color and fme_fill_color attributes, which store the color and fill color of the feature, respectively.

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.
