Map Linear Object

Print Previous page Top page Next page

A map linear object contains coordinates of two or more points. A linear object can be closed or open, consist of multiple parts (sub-objects), be spatially linked to other map objects, and be logically linked to one or more records in an external database.

 

Depending on the specified creation method chosen when selecting the object type, a linear object can be created as:

An object of arbitrary configuration

A horizontal, inclined, or complex rectangle

A circle of a specified or arbitrary radius

A result of semi-automatic raster background vectorization

A manually entered object (coordinates from the keyboard)

A parallel line (pipe) with an axis along the line or along the left edge

An enveloping or smoothing spline

A group of objects from coordinates in a file
