### Property Converter Interface

This interface allows the user to define how a property should be converted. A series of converters is provided, allowing the user to simply change the type of a property or even use property set to form a new property.

The field "Origin Properties" list all the properties of the dataset. Each property listed in the table presents a check box allowing the user to choose which property he wants to use in the converter.

The "Convert" field displays all types of conversion supported. The types are:

- GenericAttributeConverter: Simple conversion between data types.

- XYToPointConverter: Converts two basic attributes for geometric type - point. An attribute should identify the point's X coordinate and the Y coordinate of the other point.

- XYZToPointConverter: Converts three basic attributes for geometric type - point. Besides the x and y attributes, an attribute must identify the Z component.

- XYMToPointConverter: Converts three basic attributes for geometric type - point. Besides the x and y attributes, an attribute must identify the M component.

- XYZMToPointConverter: Converts four basic attributes for geometric type - point. Besides the x and y attributes, two attributes must identify the Z and M components.

- PointToXConverter: Converts a geometric attribute of type point, generating a basic attribute with the X coordinate.

- PointToYConverter: Converts a geometric attribute of type point, generating a basic attribute with the Y coordinate.

- PointToZConverter: Converts a geometric attribute of type point, generating a basic attribute with the Z coordinate.

- PointToMConverter: Converts a geometric attribute of type point, generating a basic attribute with the M coordinate.

- TupleToStringConverter: Converts a set of attributes for a single attribute of type string.

The new attribute to be generated is defined in the "Target Property" field. To assist in this process is used the Property Interface.

To illustrate the operation of the interface, the figure below presents the extraction of the Z component of a geometric property.
