KMLViewSetter

These parameters specify a location associated with the View Type parameter.

Specifies how KML Viewers, such as Google Earth, should interpret the altitude value.

If the View Type is LookAt, this location is the focal point of the view (where the view is looking at). In most cases, this is the view type you will choose. If you determine, for whatever reason, that it is too limiting, you can set the view type to Camera.

If the View Type is Camera, this location is the location of the camera (where the view is looking from).

Heading specifies the rotation, in degrees, of the view around the Z axis, relative to North.

Tilt specifies the rotation, in degrees, of the view around the X axis. A value of 0 indicates that the view is aimed straight down, and a value of 90 indicates that the view is aimed toward the horizon.

Values greater than 90 only apply if the View Type is Camera, and indicate that the view is pointed towards the sky.

Roll specifies the rotation, in degrees, of the view around the Z axis, after the Heading and Tilt rotations have been applied. This value only applies to Camera views, and is generally not necessary.

Range specifies the distance, in meters, that the view location is viewed from. This value only applies to LookAt view types.

This parameter determines the type of KML time primitive that will be created. Possible options include Timestamp and Time Period. Select ‘None’ if you don’t wish to associate a time with the view.

This parameter specifies the value of the timestamp if the time type is Timestamp. The value can either be in the FME DateTime format, or the XML Schema time format.

This parameter specifies the beginning of the time period if TimePeriod is the selected time type. The value can either be in the FME DateTime format, or the XML Schema time format.

This parameter specifies the optional end of the time period if TimePeriod is the selected time type. The value can either be in the FME DateTime format, or the XML Schema time format.

Using the Text Editor

The Text Editor provides a convenient way to construct text strings (including regular expressions) from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and constants, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.

Using the Arithmetic Editor

The Arithmetic Editor provides a convenient way to construct math expressions from various data sources, such as attributes, parameters, and feature functions, where the result is used directly inside a parameter.

Conditional Values

Set values depending on one or more test conditions that either pass or fail.

Content

Expressions and strings can include a number of functions, characters, parameters, and more.

When setting values - whether entered directly in a parameter or constructed using one of the editors - strings and expressions containing String, Math, Date/Time or FME Feature Functions will have those functions evaluated. Therefore, the names of these functions (in the form @<function_name>) should not be used as literal string values.

Content Types

String Functions	These functions manipulate and format strings.

Math Functions	Math functions are available in both editors.
Date/Time Functions	Date and time functions are available in the Text Editor.
Math Operators	These operators are available in the Arithmetic Editor.
FME Feature Functions	These return primarily feature-specific values.
FME Parameters	FME and workspace-specific parameters may be used.
Creating and Modifying User Parameters	Create your own editable parameters.
