This seams rather easy but I'm not able to create is.
Input: a lot of area features that are nicely touching each other (no overlaps nor gaps) (assume a 100 areas)
output that I want: I want to have X clusters (to be defined by user) that contains 100/X areas and those areas are not intersecting with each other (see attached screenshot).
The output can everytime be different as long as the areas in 1 cluster don't touch each other.
Thanks

This might seem easy, but I don't think it is. You're essentually trying to do some form of Graph Colouring, which is a pretty good challenge in itself. I don't think FME currently contains a simple way to do this.
There is the Map Coloring option in the FeatureColorSetter, but the number of colors can't be specified there. The Random color scheme does have a parameter for the number of colors but that won't keep them from touching eachother.

Thanks redgeographics. Although I'm not able to select the number of colors; this featurecolorsetter does indeed help my case. Thanks for mentioning this transformer
