Hi Rainer, The BBoxStrategy is pretty close to this. It does assume indexed rectangles and not other shapes, and it’s limited to one rect value per field, but perhaps this is fine for you nonetheless? See the makeOverlapRatioValueSource() method. If this feature was non-obvious, I think I may need to make this more prominent from the BBoxStrategy class level javadocs. Did you at least find this strategy?
