VectorOnRasterOverlayer

The vector features which will be rasterized onto the resultant raster.

Thefme_colorattribute of the input vector features is used to generate pixel values for color bands. Pixel values for red, green, and blue bands will be taken from the corresponding component of a feature'sfme_colorattribute. Pixel values for gray bands will be the average of thefme_colorcomponents.

Polygonal features may also optionally have anfme_fill_colorattribute; in this case, the outer boundary will be drawn usingfme_colorand the inner area will be drawn usingfme_fill_color.

Pixel values for alpha bands may be specified through theAlpha Valueparameter.

The Z coordinates of the input vector features are used to generate pixel values for numeric bands.

The feature to use as the background raster of the resultant raster. This must be a raster feature or an error will occur.

The raster drawn from a group of features.

If theGroup Byparameter is set to an attribute list, one raster per group will be produced.

Note:How parallel processing works with FME: seeAbout Parallel Processingfor detailed information.

This parameter determines whether or not the transformer should perform the work across parallel processes. If it is enabled, a process will be launched for each group specified by theGroup Byparameter.

Parallel Processing Levels

For example, on a quad-core machine, minimal parallelism will result in two simultaneous FME processes. Extreme parallelism on an 8-core machine would result in 16 simultaneous processes.

You can experiment with this feature and view the information in the Windows Task Manager and the Workbench Log window.

No: This is the default behavior. Processing will only occur in this transformer once all input is present.

By Group: This transformer will process input groups in order. Changes on the value of theGroup Byparameter on the input stream will trigger batch processing on the currently accumulating group. This will improve overall speed if groups are large/complex, but could cause undesired behavior if input groups are not truly ordered. Specifically, on a two input-port transformer, "in order" means that an entire group must reach both ports before the next group reaches either port, for the transformer to work as expected. This may take careful consideration in a workspace, and should not be confused with both port's input streams being ordered individually, but not synchronously.

This parameter specifies the alpha channel value (0-1) for the vector features.

IfComposite Using Alpha Bandis set toYes, rasters will be expected to have an alpha band selected. Vector features will then be blended with the underlying raster according to their alpha values, rather than just overwriting the underlying raster.

If this parameter isYes, the output lines will be smoothed using an anti-aliasing algorithm.

TheToleranceparameter is the maximum normalized distance from a line segment or polygon vertex to a pixel to be rendered. For example a tolerance of 1.0 will draw all pixels touched by the input vector line, while a tolerance of 0.0 will draw only those pixels where the input vector line passes directly through their center. Tolerance can only be selected when anti-aliasing is off.

When drawing point clouds on color bands, theInput Componentspecifies which component of the point should be used to set the color of the raster pixel. If the parameter is set toColor, the points in the cloud must have a color component. If the parameter is set toIntensity, the points in the cloud must have an intensity component. The intensity component is converted to a color using a grayscale continuum, where the minimum intensity in the cloud is black and the maximum intensity in the cloud is white.

IfMerge Vectorsis chosen, attributes from all features will be merged, and in case of conflicts, the value ofConflict Resolutionwill be used. IfPrefix Vectorsis chosen, then all incoming attributes will be presented with a prefix set inPrefixparameter. IfOnly Use Vectors选择,nly attributes from vectors will be used.

This parameter is enabled whenAccumulation Modeis set toMerge Vectors.Use RasterandUse Vectorswill give priority to the raster and vectors respectively in case of attribute conflicts.

The value is used as a prefix for holes whenAccumulation ModeisPrefix Vectors.

如果你输入一个列表名称,然后读出来t will be created on the output raster feature, containing an element for each input vector feature that overlapped the raster geometry, in order of appearance.

Note:List attributesare not accessible from the output schema in Workbench unless they are first processed using a transformer that operates on them, such asListExploderorListConcatenator. All list attribute transformers are displayed in the Contents pane of the Transformer Help underLists. Alternatively,AttributeExposercan be used.
