Vector data

• Vector data provides a way to represent real world features within a GIS environment. A feature can be anything can see on a landscape. Imagine you are standing on the top of a hill. Looking down, you can see different characterisctics of a landscape(houses, roads, trees, rivers, and so on). Each one of these characteristics can be a feature that can be represented by a GIS application. Vector features have attributes, which consist of text or numerical information that describe the features.
