Hi everyone,
I have a polyline shapefile that represents a transport route. I also have a point shapefile of markers along the route. I want to be able to split the polyline into segments between the points. I want to retain the route rather than use line builder to create segments between the points.
I have tried using the PointOnLineOverlayer transformer but I end up with significantly more line sections than I am expecting. For example I have a line with 27 markers along it. I am expecting to get 28 segments when I split the line at these points. Instead I am ending up with 61 as the line is split in locations where there is no point (highlighted blue part is on of the output lines). I think this may be a result of the aggregate geometry parameter.
When I run the polyline through the aggregate filter it says the line is an aggregate. I see that the aggregate options in the PointOnLineOverlayer are deaggregate (which I think explains why I get more line segments than I was expecting) or reject. If this could explain why I am getting more lines than expected how can I deal with the aggregate geometry as I don't want to reject my polyline?
Thanks :)
