Feature Representation
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Type Attributes), this format also adds format-specific attributes (Format Attributes).
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 |
---|---|
FME Feature with no geometry. |
|
Point feature or an aggregate of point features. |
|
Linear feature or an aggregate of linear features. |
|
Areal feature; may be a donut, or an aggregate of areal features. |
|
Text feature. |
|
Surface feature, may contain gaps. |
|
Solid feature, may contain voids. |
|
A feature whose geometry is a possibly heterogeneous aggregate. |
Other attributes, including the feature’s feature type, are dependent on the mappings that are defined in an xfMap document.
