HI guys,

 

I have a question.

How can I generalize points in FME Desktop?

I have like 10 points, each point is very clos to other and I want to make from them like less number of points like 3-4 maybe.

I've tried with generalizer but it's not working, any suggestions?

Screenshot below.

TIA

For a basic attempt you could try snap the points together. If you can find the right distance, like 40m, you might get lucky with the result you want.

Next you could try a buffer + dissolve to form groups, then center point replacer to reduce each group to a single point.

Essentially you're also describing the style of web map where counts of points get aggregated together at zoomed out scales, so you could look into how those work.
