Tables display the attributes of data sets . Charts are visual displays of selected attributes of data sets .
Layouts are composites of views , tables , charts , legend material and title text.
Scripts provide a way to modify the standard ArcView interface. Projects contain related views , tables , charts , layouts , and scripts . You can think of it as a manila folder. To the user, opening a 'project' is like opening a file in any other application. The project file contains the instructions necessary for ArcView to recreate saved views, plots or charts of the data when the project is opened.
