Conceptual Overview

In ArcView geographic features can be:

• Points
• Lines
• Polygons
  

These features are stored in a database along with their feature attributes (i.e., descriptive information). These attributes are displayed in a spreadsheet format, called a Table.

A GIS links sets of features (with their attributes), and manages them in units called themes. Themes are displayed as views.
