How to extract polygons from shp to csv file
Best answer by erik_jan
You can use the GeometryExtractor transformer to create an attribute holding the polygon definition (choice of multiple formats, but WKT is often used).

Hi @jitkam, it depends on your desired CSV table schema. For example, how do you want to describe this polygon feature (having 3 user attributes - attr1, attr2, attr3, and a single polygon geometry with 5 vertices) in the destination CSV table?
Attribute(string) : `SHAPE_GEOMETRY' has value `shape_polygon'
Attribute(encoded: fme-system): `attr1' has value `aaa'
Attribute(encoded: fme-system): `attr2' has value `bbb'
Attribute(encoded: fme-system): `attr3' has value `ccc'
Attribute(string) : `fme_feature_type' has value `data'
Attribute(string) : `fme_geometry' has value `fme_polygon'
Attribute(entangled: string) : `fme_type' has value `fme_area'
entangled to [SHAPE_GEOMETRY]
Coordinate System: `'
Geometry Type: IFMEPolygon
Boundary:
Geometry Type: IFMELine
Number of Coordinates: 5 -- Coordinate Dimension: 2
