Vector
Method for storing spatial data involving assigning coordinates for each entity.
Method for storing spatial data involving assigning coordinates for each entity.
- Mathematical object with precise direction and length but without specific location. Vector data is stored as XYZ coordinates that describe points, symbols, lines, areas, and volumes.
- Method for storing spatial data involving assigning coordinates for each entity; an X,Y,Z for a point, a pair of such points for a line, a series of such lines for a polygon, the method is very useful for modeling discrete physical features.
- Quantity, such as velocity, completely specified by a magnitude and a direction.
Viewer
A read-only stand-alone software system that supports the display, manipulation, and query of spatial databases. Commercial products that enable users reference and analyzed spatial databases prepared by a full function read-write product within the same product line. A viewer typically has a user interface simpler than full function products; it supports a rich command set but less than that available in the full function product.
