Ok, I have what would seem to be a simple task, but just not finding
the easiest way to do it.
I have street centerlines, and I wish to label the endpoints with
the From and To address ranges. The label point should be offset a
certain distance from the endpoint and perpendicular to that portion
of the linestring, with the label being parallel to the segment.
Basically the From Address Left, should be a certain distance along
the linestring from the start point, offset perpendicular to the
Left side of the segment and the text angle should be parallel to
the line segment.
The To Address Left, should be the same only from the end point.
Similarly for the From Address Right / Left.
The Labeller would seem to be the logical choice, only it will
distribute labels along the element at certain intervals or at the
center point only. I need only 1 label per value, at the end points.
I know I "could" throw a bunch of different transformers in there to
achieve this. Such as get the first two points, calculate the angle.
Project a point at a certain distance. Then project that offset a
certain distance, etc. But if I need to go through all that trouble
for each of the four points, then it would be faster for me to just
code this in Microstation.
I'm using FME ICE 3 build 1378. I can upgrade to the latest IF it
will help with this task, otherwise I would like to wait a little
bit. Also, I want to do this through the Workbench, cause if I need
to build a standard translation file, I'll just code it in
Microstation.
I think I might be missing something obvious. Any ideas?
