hello all,

i have a simple square polygon,

i am trying to place an array on evenly spaced points within it,

i have found RandomPointGenerator in the FME store, it does the trick, but i need to define the X and Y offset values,

any help would be great :)

cheers

Create a grid within the square polygon using a 2DGridAccumulator on the input object (your square).

Use point type to create.

Counter to count number of your input objects and then using a attirubutecreator or expressionevaluator to calculate the squareroot of your input objects and round this value.

Use value to create x, and y (number of cells )

I assume by square you mean a even sided rectangle. (else you need to calculate aspect ratio first)
