    The document compares and contrasts raster and vector data types. Raster data stores information in a grid of pixels and represents continuous data like elevation. Vector data uses geometric shapes and coordinate pairs to represent discrete real-world features like points, lines, and polygons.

    RASTER DATA • Raster data is a geographic data type that stores
    Click to edit Master title style
    data as a grid of pixels of a regular size.
    • Each pixel is linked to a specific coordinate, which
    represents a physical position in the world.
    • Each pixel value represents an area on the Earth's
    surface.
    • Raster data can be categorical or continuous:
    • Discrete: For example, land use
    • Continuous: For example, elevation

    • Raster data is a common data structure that's


    used to represent digital images. For example, a
    digital photograph is an example of a raster
    dataset.

    RASTER DATA Discrete data values are distinct, separate

    values that are often categorical or nominal
    in nature, such as land cover types or land
    Continuous data values, on the other hand,
    are numeric and represent measurements

    use categories.
    Examples of continuous data in raster GIS
    Discrete data is typically represented by include elevation or temperature data.
    integer values in raster data, with each Continuous data is typically represented by
    unique value representing a different floating point values in raster data, with
    category or class. For example, a raster layer each pixel value representing a continuous
    that represents land cover types might measurement of the variable being
    assign the value of 1 to forests, 2 to measured.

    VECTOR DATA • Vector data is a type of geographic data that
    Click to edit Master title style
    represents objects in the real world using
    geometric shapes.
    • Vector data is created by digitizing base
    data and storing information in x, y
    coordinates.
    • It is made up of individual points recorded as
    coordinate pairs, which represent a physical
    position in the world.
    • For example, a city may be represented by
    a point, a road may be represented by a
    collection of lines, and a state may be
    represented as a polygon.
