Vector Analysis Operations
How can you find hospitals near railroads, or wetlands near oil wells? Your project materials may include vector geodata containing themes such as river networks, transportation infrastructure, property ownership, and land classification. Vector analysis operations use point, line, and polygon attributes and "topology" (spatial relationships such as adjacency, intersection, island, and inside/outside) to answer a host of analytical questions.
buffer zones
merge overlapping vectors
use elements by attributes
"cookie cutter" extraction
draw processing region
insert / replace
Union, Intersection, Subtract
combine adjacent vectors
trim to selected limits
combine / simplify elements
copy / paste
set tolerance distance
