+5Hi,
I have a layer with closed polygons. On top of these polygons lies a layer with smaller areas. These areas are divided into 3 types.
Each type of area needs to be assigned a year, and the total area per table type should be approximately equal within the larger area.
How can I create a distribution where each type of area is used, and the total area of each type is approximately equal?
How could I achieve this with FME?
+10Hi
Thanks for posting!
Here are some quick tips that may help in getting your desired results!
To Calculate areas of polygons you can use the - AreaCalculator.
The SpatialRelator or SpatialFilter will help associate each small polygon with a corresponding large polygon.
The StatisticsCalculator will help calculate the sum of areas for each type within each large polygon.
The AttributeManager will help assign a year to each type.
Hope these help and bring you in the right direction! Let me know if you have any more issues!
Donal.
+5Thank you. The steps you indicate are the preparation. The difficulty for me is to distribute the surfaces as evenly as possible with the lage polygons. I think that's difficult with only FME transformers. For now I solved it by writing a small C# tool. That was the easiest way. It probably could have been done with a Python script in FME. But my Python skills are poor.
