Vector Analysis Operations

How can you find hospitals near railroads, or wetlands near oil wells? Your project materials may include vector geodata containing themes such as river networks, transportation infrastructure, property ownership, and land classification. Vector analysis operations use point, line, and polygon attributes and "topology" (spatial relationships such as adjacency, intersection, island, and inside/outside) to answer a host of analytical questions.
