I have worked out how to take a 2D xyz Pointcloud and convert it using the Buffer transformer to a decent looking image with continuous sides. This sides/lines are however when you zoom in effectively polygons.

 

How do I almost draw a line through these worm like polygons so I actually have a set of true lines representling the original 2D PointCloud? example below:

We've come across a similar problem before. A few ways we approached it was:

  • generalize the polys then run a centrelinereplacer across them
  • build hulls and run a centreline replacer
