    This document discusses vector spatial data, including that it represents real world features using points, arcs, and polygons with associated location and attribute information. It stores points as X,Y coordinates, arcs as a series of vertex coordinates, and polygons as a series of enclosing arcs. Topology captures relationships between objects like direction and adjacency. Attribute tables typically include area, perimeter and other cover-related attributes for points, arcs and polygons. An exercise is proposed to explore this spatial data and relationships in QGis.

    • Map design
    Today:
    • Spatial analysis using vector data
    Map
    • Representation of spatial information using:
    • Points
    • Arcs
    • Polygons

    • These geometric features represent real world features

    • And have associated information


    Vectors
    • Spatial data

    • Location

    • Topology

    • Attribute data
    Data storage
    • Points  X, Y coordinates

    • Arcs  series of X, Y coordinates for each vertex

    • Polygon  series of arcs that enclose an area

    • TOPOLOGY  relation between objetcs


    • Direction
    • Adjacency
    • Area
    • Perimeter
    Attributes
    • Attribute table usually contains:

    • Points
    AREA PERIMETER COVER# COVER-ID

    • Arcs
    FNODE# TNODE# LPOLY# RPOLY# LENGTH
    COVER# COVER-ID

    • Polygons
    AREA PERIMETER COVER# COVER-ID
    Exercise
    • Explore spatial data and its relationship in QGis
