Hello,

 

 

I have a shapefile of polygons.

 

There are open geometries.

 

How do I record just the right geometries?

 

 

See the picture please.

 

 

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

 

 

Joao

Hi,

 

 

you can use the GeometryValidator for this.

Well, if the open shapes are valid polygons, validator wont help. (in fme one can end up with polygons that look like lines, especially after analysing dirty/badly matched featuretypes.

 

 

A good way to it would be to create Hulls.

 

First use areacalculator on polygons, then create hulls. Calculate area of hulls.

 

Compare both areas.

 

Open polygons will have a big discrepancy in area.
