The Matrix stage takes start geometry or a set of longitude and latitude for start point and end point respectively. You can specify either the start and end geometry or longitude and latitude. The following table lists all the input parameters and their descriptions:
Section | Field Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Start Geometry | Either specify Start Geometry, the Start Point as the name of an existing geometry field or create a point from a pair of X/Y field names. The Geometry and X/Y fields are mutually exclusive (you need to choose one or the other). | |
Geometry |
Select the geometry field name to be used as Start Geometry. By default, startGeometry name is selected in the Point/Multipoint Geometry drop-down. If the Geometry radio button is selected, the startGeometry field name automatically becomes available as the input from the previous stage and you can provide the appropriate value. The startGeometry contains point as well as multipoint geometry:
For example, if the user takes one start point, then the geometry is defined as a point geometry and if the user takes multiple start points, then the geometry is defined as a multipoint geometry. |
|
Start Point | Longitude/Latitude (X/Y) |
Select the Longitude (X) and Latitude (Y) fields to be used to construct the start point. The drop-down contain names of all the fields of type string and double. It can take single start point as well as a list of start points. The list can be either a list of string or list of double. The user can also add new fields of double or string type using the input stage using the Enterprise Designer. The added fields immediately reflect in the Longitude or Latitude drop-down. By default the name startx is configured for the Longitude (X) field and the name starty for the Latitude (Y) field. If the Longitude/Latitude (X/Y) radio button is selected, then the startx and starty field names automatically become available as the input from the previous stage and you can provide the appropriate value. The type of startx and starty field names are of type string. By default, the coordinate system for start point is set to WGS84. If required, change the coordinate system to match the input X and Y fields. You can also provide the coordinate system from the previous input stage with name startcoordsys (case in-sensitive) of type string, which if provided, overrides the value present in the input tab. For more information about EPSG codes, see www.spatialreference.org. To retrieve a list of supported codespaces for EPSG, you can submit the SOAP request List Supported CoordSys by Code Space from the Geometry Service Demo page at http://<server>:<port>/Spatial/GeometryService/DemoPage.html. |
End Geometry | Either specify the end point as the name of an existing geometry field or create a point from a pair of X/Y field names. The Geometry and X/Y fields are mutually exclusive (you need to choose one or the other). | |
Geometry |
Select the geometry field name to be used as End Geometry. By default, endGeometry name is selected in the Point/Multipoint Geometry drop-down. If the Geometry radio button is selected, the endGeometry field name will automatically be available as the input from previous stage and you can provide the value for this to be used. The endGeometry contains point as well as multipoint geometry:
For example, if the user takes one end point, then the geometry is defined as a point geometry and if the user takes multiple end points, then the geometry is defined as a multipoint geometry |
|
End Point | Longitude/Latitude (X/Y) |
Select the Longitude (X) and Latitude (Y) fields to be used to construct the end point. The drop-down contain names of all the fields of type string and double. It can take single end point as well as a list of end points. The list can be either a list of string or list of double. The user can also add new fields of double or string type using the input stage in Enterprise Designer. The added fields get reflected immediately in the Longitude or Latitude drop-down. By default, the name endx is configured for the Longitude (X) field and endy for the Latitude (Y) field. If the Longitude/Latitude (X/Y) radio button is selected, the endx and endy field names will automatically be available as an input from the previous stage. You can also provide the coordinate system from the previous input stage with the name endcoordsys (case in-sensitive) of type string, which if provided, will override the value present in the Input tab. By default, the coordinate system for start point is set to WGS84. If required, change the coordinate system to match the input X and Y fields. You can also provide the coordinate system from previous input stage with name endcoordsys (case in-sensitive) of type string, which if provided, will override the value present in the Input tab.

Input from the Previous Stage
The following fields can be used as input from the previous stage. If a value is provided for any of them, it will override the corresponding value configured in the stage. You can view these fields by clicking the channel between the stages to open the Field Transform Options dialog box.
