Vector Data and Raster Data in GISAli Jaafar
Because vector data have vertices and paths, this means that the graphical output is generally more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, it gives higher geographic accuracy because data isn’t dependent on grid size. Topology rules can help data integrity with vector data models. Not only that, ne...
Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software. ...
Vector data is the most common type of GIS data. Most data loaded into a GIS software program tends to be in vector data. Vector data represents geographic data symbolized as points, lines, or polygons. Raster data represents geographic data as a matrix of cells that each contains an attr...

When Natural Earth relaunched in December 2009 with updated raster and new vector data our aim was two fold: First, to give cartographers an off-the-shelf solution for creating small-scale world, regional and country maps from scratch. Second, we included a wealth of features both large and...
Vector Streams Grid Streams Delineated Subwatersheds and Stream Networks Summary Concepts • Grid (raster) data structures represent surfaces as an array of grid cells • Raster calculation involves algebraic like operations on grids • Interpolation and Generalization is an inherent part of ...
1. Natural Earth Data Natural Earth Datais number 1 on the list because it best suits the needs of cartographers. By and large, all the key cultural and physical vector GIS datasets are on a global scale convenient for you to use. The raster datasets also provide beautiful hillshade relief...
(such as vegetation type) and assigns a categorical value. Thematic maps can also result from geoprocessing operations that combine data from various sources, such as vector, raster, and terrain data. For example, you can process data through a geoprocessing model to create a raster dataset that...
Land-cover data is produced by assigning each pixel in a Landsat thematic mapper image to one of 16 land-cover classes using a procedure known as unsupervised classification. You have been asked to prepare a lesson that explains to beginning GIS users the difference between vector and raster ...
