Introduction to GIS
Data is classified as
• VECTOR “continuous” (such as in an
image), or “thematic”
(where each cell denotes a
feature type.
• Real World Numerous data formats
(TIFF, GIF, ERDAS.img etc)
Polygons - set of
connected lines
We use these three spatial elements to represent real world features and
attach locational information to them.
