Each cell represents a square parcel of the real world. A value is assigned to each cell. Raster map layers are two dimensional Cartesian planes. Each cell has a row and column coordinate within that plane. The Vector data model allows you to store topological information for each object.
Topology is the mathematically explicit rules that govern the connections between spatial objects.
The vector model is appropriate for the representation of discrete map objects. The size of the area represented by a cell is the cell resolution. In MFworks you can analyse and visualize spatial data with cell resolutions from millimetres to kilometres. Modeling T he raster data model gives you superior analytical capabilities for continuous data and fast processing of map layer overlay operations. Rasterized spatial imagery is imported easily into MFworks for easy and extensive manipulation and enhancement.
