Create Trapezoidal Buffered Areas from Line

ラインから台形状のバッファーエリアを作成

FME Community Answers > Is it possible to create a " trapezoids" shaped line buffer?

It's an interesting subject.
I tried replacing the procedure except the Dissolver with a concise Python script.
For what it's worth.
興味深い題材です。
Dissolver以外の処理手順を簡潔なPythonスクリプトに置き換えてみました。
何かの役に立つかも。

class TrapezoidBufferer(object):

        rb = float(feature.getAttribute('_beg_width')) * 0.5
        re = float(feature.getAttribute('_end_width')) * 0.5
        k = (re - rb) / float(feature.performFunction('@Length()'))
        coordSys = feature.getCoordSys()    
        coords = feature.getAllCoordinates()
        if feature.getDimension() == fmeobjects.FME_THREE_D:
            coords = [(x, y) for (x, y, z) in coords]          
        x0, y0, measure = coords[0][0], coords[0][1], 0.0

The script transforms a polyline into multiple polygons like this image. To get final geometry, dissolve them with a Dissolver.
このスクリプトはひとつのポリラインを図のような複数のポリゴンに変換します。最終的なジオメトリを得るには、これらをDissolverでディゾルブします。

Really interesting :)
実におもしろい (^^)

2014-11-10: I didn't think that "dissolving" can be performed with the Python FME Objects API. Probably that's true but I noticed that the required result can be generated by "buffering with specifying 0 as amount" against an aggregate geometry, in this case.
「ディゾルブ(dissolving)」は Python FME Objects API でできるとは思っていませんでした。おそらくそれはその通りでしょうが、このケースでは、集約ジオメトリ(aggregate)に対する「バッファ量0のバッファリング(buffering)」によって求められる結果が得られることに気がつきました。

Like a strange living thing...
ヘンな生き物のような...

I published a custom transformer named "TaperLineBufferer" in the FME Store, which  has been implemented based on the Python script.
このPythonスクリプトに基づいて実装した"TaperLineBufferer"という名前のカスタムトランスフォーマーを FME Store で公開しました。
