+1Hi guys,
in Arcmap i usualy calculate a attribute/field value "Vertices", where are noted numbers of vertices on polyline feature. I do it with Python phraser and simple code: !shape!.pointcount.
Can be this field value calculated via fmes Python caller and how?
Thanks in advance for any help or other solutuion.
Bye, Miha
+44There is an FME transformer VertexCounter which will count the number of vertices. If your data contains arcs however, I don't think this gives you the same result as what would be returned in ArcMap so something to be aware of

I agree that using the VertexCounter transformer is easier than writing Python script, but if there is a specific reason for using PythonCaller, you can use the numVertices method of FMEFeature class.
See the Python FME Objects API Reference to learn more.

+1HI,
Thanks again for your opinion and requested literature. I will try to use vertex creator and than statistics calculator instead of python caller.
