In the Data Inspector and the Visual Preview pane, I would like to suggest a function that uses an LLM to automatically assign styling to the shown data layers (best effort), based on the name of the layers.

This function should allow quick symbolization and automatically suggests fitting colors and symbols for vector layers. It should not replace the existing style dialog.

The result should be predictable and reproducible layer styling between workspace executions on the same, or similar, datasets.

To further develop the idea:

  • the FME user can maintain a list (library) of data category names and their associated styles for points, lines and polygons.
  • FME is, by default, populated with some common categories, such as administrative boundaries, roads, waterways, etc.
  • the LLM is used to map data layer names from the Inspector / Preview into the available styling library category names
  • if no suitable category name is found in the library, let the LLM suggest suitable styling. Have an option to add this suggestion to the local library.
