Polygonal Data Summary
Polygonal Data is stored in Geometry objects
Primitive Geometry objects include Point, Line, Polygon, & Polyhedron objects
Geometry objects can be hierarchically organized in many different ways, including spatially, temporally, by classification, etc.
Attributes can take many forms, including Property Values, Property Tables, Colors, etc., and can be associated with either Primitive Geometry or Geometry Hierarchy objects
Primitive Geometry objects contain their own geometric information
Optional Geometry Topology objects contain only the topological relationships between Primitive Geometry objects
- Geometry Topology objects are organized into topological complexes (i.e., tiles), represented by Geometry Topology Hierarchy objects
Geometry Hierarchy objects can be associated with Images, Property Grids, Features, and/or other Geometry Hierarchy objects
Each Geometry Hierarchy object can have a complete set of supporting metadata
