Measurement

Introduction

Geometric measurement on spatial features includes counting, distance and area size computations. Here we discuss such measurements in a planar spatial reference system. We limit ourselves to geometric measurements and do not include attribute data measurement, which is typically performed in a database query language. Measurements on vector data are more advanced (and thus also more complex) than those on raster data.
