Duplicating points

For very irregular parcel shapes, how should the points be distributed?

Possible solution to create a regular grid of points inside each parcel:

• 2DGridAccumulator to create a point grid
• Bufferer on the parcel area with a negative value (this is to prevent points too close to the parcel border)
• Clipper to only keep the grid points inside the parcel buffer
• PointOnAreaOverlayer to check that the parcel contains at least one point, if not use the CenterPointReplacer to create one.

I remember a blogpost from @dmitribagh, converting polygon to pointcloud, to get even spaced area's. It's from 2016 so maybe there are better solutions nowadays.

Hi @david_r most of the parcels are irregular shapes and point should be distributed equaly across the parcels. I am aware that this is impossible and I would try your approach only problem is determining what cell size to set for 2DGridAccumulator. Thank you.

I'd try the tiler to split the larger polygons up into say 125 *125 tiles, test for tiles over a certain size then use a CenterPointReplacer transformer(mode: Inside Point).

Thank you @egomm this is it.
