Reader Overview
FME considers a single SGI Image file to be a dataset. Each dataset contains a single FME raster feature.
Writer Overview
FME considers a dataset to be a folder name. The feature type of each dataset is the filename.
The SGI writer distinguishes duplicate output files by appending numbers to the filenames.
Note: SGI Image files will always be written as run-length encoded.
FME Raster Features
FME raster features represent raster data and use several concepts that are unlike those used in the handling of vector data.
For comprehensive information about how FME processes raster data, see Rasters.
SGI supports rasters with any number of bands that have a UInt8 data type.
