CoordinateConcatenator

Retrieves the values of all the feature's coordinates into a single string attribute value, separated by delimiters.

Jump to Configuration

Typical Uses

• Extracting coordinate values into attributes for manipulation or use elsewhere

How does it work?

The CoordinateConcatenator receives point, line, area, or donut features and extracts their coordinates into one concatenated and delimited string attribute value.

The delimiters between coordinates and between elements of a coordinate (x, y, and z) may be specified, and can be special characters such as tabs or carriage returns.

Coordinates to include (x, y, and/or z) may be selected. If z is requested on features without z coordinates, it will be ignored.

Aggregates are not supported.

Examples

Usage Notes

• To extract coordinates into a list attribute, use the CoordinateExtractor.

Parameters

Editing Transformer Parameters

Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.

Defining Values

There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters. There are a number of tools and shortcuts that can assist in constructing values, generally available from the drop-down context menu adjacent to the value field.

Dialog Options - Tables

Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
