Description

The Generalizer transformer can smooth, fit, measure and generalize features.


Smoothing

Smoothing algorithms will determine a new location for each vertex.

The available algorithms are:

  • McMaster
  • McMaster Weighted Distance
  • NURBFit


Generalizing

Generalizing algorithms reduce the density of coordinates by removing vertices.

The available algorithms are:

  • Douglas
  • Thin
  • ThinNoPoint
  • Deveau
  • Wang


Fit

Fitting algorithms replace the original geometry completely, with a new feature fitted to a specified line (eg to minimize the orthogonal distance to the original)

The available algorithms are:

  • Orthogonal Distance Regression


Measure

Measuring algorithms calculate the location of points, and return a list of these points (eg to measure the sinuosity of a feature)

The available algorithms are:

  • Inflection Points
