Hi Dale,
This will be really interesting tool to have in my FME tool box, esp. when it comes to handling text labels in MapXtreme Java and other such web GIS applications.
A great gift for the NEW YEAR (2005) from the folks at SAFE !
Regards
SRG

Hi Garry, others,
Just wanted to mention that in the next week or two, we'll be including a
text stroking factory/transformer in the FME betas. It will take a label
string, a rotation, and size (and font name), and produce you the little
pieces of lines that, when viewed, are the label. It actually produces
polygon outlines which are typically filled, so you get a polygonal layer,
though you could get closed lines out by running the output through a
donutholeextractor.
We think this will be of interest to a great many folks, and we'll post
something here when it is available in the beta.
Dale
