polylines Polylines are defined by two or more locations that are connected with lines.
This image illustrates the polyline used to represent the river. Each location has a longitude and
latitude (also referred to as geographic coordinates) that defines the precise location of the river
on the earth. This image provides an example of the geographic coordinates for one of the
polyline locations.
polygons Polygons are defined using multiple locations that are connected and closed.
This image illustrates a polygon used to represent the lake. Each location has a longitude and
latitude (also referred to as geographic coordinates) that defines the precise location of the lake
on the earth. This image provides an example of the geographic coordinates for one of the
polygon locations.
vector data types: shapefile, CAD, geodatabase feature class
raster data types: TIFF, JPEG, mosaic dataset
