Themes are the basic building blocks of the ArcView system. Themes can represent essentially any spatial dataset, that is, features with locational attributes. Views organize themes. 2.1 would be themes in a single view. Table A table is ArcView''s representation of tabular data.
Tables contain descriptive information about specific subjects.
ArcView defines a standard template to reference the table you access. The tabular data itself is not imported, but rather continues to be stored in the source file in its native format. Chart Charts provide graphic representation of summarized tabular data. Charts can also query data from the table by which it was built. Any previously composed view can be placed into a layout.
