Maze Generator

From fmepedia

Right for the Christmas time - a MazeGenerator transformer. I found this maze generator in a blog (http://davidbau.com/) led by David Bau (http://davidbau.com/about/david_bau.html). This blog contains a lot of interesting things, and maybe, I'll add more transformers using these services.

MazeGenerator (custom transformer) uses David Bau's web service, which generates mazes (http://davidbau.com/archives/2008/09/11/python_maze_generator.html) in PDF format. There is a Python code (http://davidbau.com/downloads/pymaze.py) underneath, but for the end users it is as simple as filling parameters in an FME transformer. And for me - as sending a URL to the service. Of course, if you fill like a Python expert, you can go to the code.

There are more parameters for this service not shown in the transformer (tube, m(argins), and wall) but included into the URL. You can modify them in the Concatenator or expose them the same way as other parameters are exposed.

Play with the parameters and make your own maze for your kids, friends or yourself. Merry Christmas!
