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