Creator - now with attributes

I think it would be better to use the AttributeCreator to do this, to have better control of your workbench. It is the same as exposing attributes in your reader or use the AttributeExposer to do so. For WorkbenchManagement purposes I would prefer to do the last. For a tidy workbench it would be a good alternative (and of you can always choose to do the last if the first is made available).

 

PythonCreator can do this for you:

 

""" Date: 2018.06.20 Author: Paal S. Pedersen """ import fmeobjects class FeatureCreator(object): def __init__(self): pass def input(self,feature): # Create a Point feature pointFeature = fmeobjects.FMEFeature() # To create 3d objects we must .setDimension(fmeobjects.FME_THREE_D) # For 2 dimensional use .setDimension(fmeobjects.FME_TWO_D) pointFeature.setDimension(fmeobjects.FME_THREE_D) # To set the correct GeometryType use .setGeometryType, or else feature will be undefined # A list of valid geometries can be found in the doc # See help(feature) # Or help(fmeobjects) for a complete documentation of fmeobjects pointFeature.setGeometryType(fmeobjects.FME_GEOM_POINT) # Lets add a coordinate with x, y, z = 0, 0, 1 pointFeature.addCoordinate(1,1,0) # Lets create a dictionary with som attributes point_attributes = {'TYPE':'POINT', 'HAS_ATTRIBUTES': 'YES'} # Make a loop to itereate the attributes and set them to the feature for attribute_name, attribute_value in point_attributes.items(): pointFeature.setAttribute(attribute_name, attribute_value) # Now send this feature back to FME self.pyoutput(pointFeature) # Lets create a polygon polygonFeature = fmeobjects.FMEFeature() # Repeat procedure polygonFeature.setDimension(fmeobjects.FME_TWO_D) polygonFeature.setGeometryType(fmeobjects.FME_GEOM_POLYGON) # Lets create some coordinates coordinate_list = [(0,0), (0,10), (10,10), (10,0), (0,0)] # Make a loop to place each coordinate on the feature for x, y in coordinate_list: polygonFeature.addCoordinate(x,y) # Send the feature back to FME self.pyoutput(polygonFeature) def close(self): pass

 

Remember to expose attributes created
