shapefile
|
standard nontopological data format used in ESRI products. No files describe spatial relationships between points lines and polygons.
|
|
TIN
|
Triangulated Irregular Network. approximates terrain with a set of non- overlapping triangles
• Point features are elevation values with x, y, and z values. • x, y = location, z = elevation • elevation points come from variety of sources (stereo aerial photographs, survey data, DEM) |
|
Delaunay triangulation
|
iterative process of connecting points with their two nearest neighbors to form triangles that are as equiangular as possible (used in TIN). Results in:
• Triangles (faces) • Points (nodes) • Lines (edges) |
|
Region
|
Geographic area with similar characteristics.
|
|
Route
|
linear feature such as a highway, bike path, or stream but has measurement system.
|
|
Events
|
linear attributes, must be associated with routes so they can be displayed and analyzed with other spatial features
|
|
Section
|
refers directly to lines (arcs) in a line coverage and positions along lines.
