Creating Map Report with FME

Hi, 

 

I am using FME Flow (desktop) and I need to make workspace for producing map reports (image or PDF) like a layout in QGIS or ArcGIS, but as I know it is not so easy.

 

What I need:

  • a basemap (preferred areal, but standard would be good as well) 
  • visualize my line layer georeferenced on the top of it
  • some additional informations (tables, map legend etc.) around the map 

Does anyone know an easy solution/approach fir this, or FME is simply not for such a visualization and I should search for other tools to do it? 

 

Thanks for the help!

I’ve seen it done before (in some cases extremely well, but I understand it was months of work).

You’ll need to use the MapnikRasterizer, theres a good introduction article here: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407566490125-Introduction-to-the-MapnikRasterizer

I presented this at the FME User Meeting in Brazil, if that's what you're looking for. The video is in Portuguese, but you will understand the results.

Furthermore, yes, its output is the mapnik rasterizer.
