Point and vector object information
Specify the type of vector or non-gridded point objects used in the data set,
and how many there are. If the direct spatial reference method is either
Point or Vector, select whether you use SDTS terms or VPF terms.
If you select either Point or Vector, the following fields are displayed:
■ SDTS Terms
■ VPF Terms
■ VPF Topology Level
■ Point And vector Object Type
■ Point And Vector Object Count
SDTS Terms/VPF Terms
This field name changes depending on the terminology set you select.
SDTS terms description
Select the appropriate point or vector information that uses terminology
and concepts from Spatial Data Concepts, Part 1, Chapter 2, in Department
of Commerce, 1992, Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) (Federal
Information Processing Standard 173): Washington, Department of
Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology. The reference
to the SDTS is used only as a name for the method used to describe the
point and vector objects. This method is selected by default in the dialog
box.
NOTE If you select one of the options, but later decide to select the other, close
the Spatial Data Organization Information Editor and re-open it to reset the
fields.
If you select SDTS terms, complete the following fields:
SDTS point and vector object type
Select the type of point or vector objects you use to identify zero-, one-,
and two-dimensional locations in the data set.
Point and vector object count
Specify the number of point or vector objects in your data set.
VPF terms description
If you select VPF terms, complete the following fields as many times as
necessary. Use the Record Navigator to add new fields.
