Classes that represent data structures for storing spatial and non-spatial information.

This package includes the main classes for storing spatial objects. Raster maps are represented with the RasterMap class. Vector maps are represented with the VectorMap class and are composed of collections of GISVectors representing individual points, lines and areas.

All spatial objects implement the SpatialModel interface. For convenience, most inherit the SpatialObject class, which contains some default spatial comparison behaviour. Simple spatial locations can be stored in the Footprint class. See Java Programming for Spatial Sciences for more details on the spatial model design.

Other classes are used for storing various structures for triangulation (DelaunayTriang, Edge and Node) and multi-scale analysis (Quadratic).
