Vector Data

Vector data refers to a way of representing information using points, lines, and polygons. It is commonly used in mapping and geographical information systems (GIS). Points represent specific locations, lines can show connections or paths (like roads), and polygons indicate areas (like lakes or parks). Each element in vector data contains attributes, such as names or types. This format allows for precise representation and analysis of spatial features, making it valuable for urban planning, navigation, and environmental studies. Unlike raster data, which uses grids and pixels, vector data maintains clarity and detail at any scale.
