ContourGenerator
Contours are lines used to distinguish areas of equal measurement on both 2D and 3D models. They are most commonly used on topographic maps to indicate areas of equal elevation. This allows viewers to distinguish the steepness of slopes. Where lines are close together, the elevation is changing quickly and therefore the slope is higher. When lines are further apart, the elevation changes more gradually and the slope is less.
Contour lines are also commonly used in meteorology to represent areas of equal air pressure, temperature, rainfall, and wind.
To create contours with FME, you can connect your data points containing x, y, and z coordinates to the ContourGenerator.
