vector data (vector format) - A data format in which area, linear, and point features are represented and stored as the series of arcs (a.k.a., vectors) forming their perimeters. In GRASS, map data can be converted between vector and raster data formats. Typically, data are digitized in vector format and analyzed in their raster format. Data can be displayed and output in either format.
