In Geographic Information Systems (GIS), data is primarily represented in two formats: Vector and Raster. Understanding the differences between these two formats is crucial for choosing the right data structure for various applications. The infographic highlights the key distinctions between vector and raster data to help guide your GIS projects, differentiating the two data types along the issues of: ➡️ File Size ➡️ Rendering ➡️ Scalability ➡️ Data Attributes ➡️ Best Use Cases ➡️ Storage Formats ➡️ Software Processing ➡️ Data Representation ➡️ Coordinate Precision ➡️ Analysis Applications Both vector and raster data play important roles in GIS. Vector data excels in representing discrete features with high precision, while raster data is ideal for modeling continuous phenomena. Knowing when to use each type can significantly improve your GIS analysis and decision-making.
