It would be great to have the option to limit the input extent size in the GeometryPicker itself!

 

We oftentimes develop tooling for which it is a necessity to limit the area size, for various reasons (e.g. to prevent an engine being used by one tool for too long or to prevent putting a heavy load on an open data service).

 

Currently, in order to achieve this, the supplied input in the GeometryPicker is checked in the workspace itself. If it’s too large, this will be communicated to the user through a log message.

 

In my opinion, it would be a lot more intuitive to have this feedback in the GeometryPicker itself.

E.g. whenever the user draws a polygon that exceeds the allowed size, the polygon will turn red.


PS. I’ve only experienced this with polygonal input, but maybe other FME users would like the same functionality for limiting input length of line geometries as well?
