Geometric primitive: Applications, Regions & Products

In vector computer graphics, CAD systems, and geographic information systems, a geometric primitive (or prim) is the simplest (i.e. 'atomic' or irreducible) geometric shape that the system can handle (draw, store). Sometimes the subroutines that draw the corresponding objects are called "geometric primitives" as well. The most "primitive" primitives are…

How Geometric primitive connects Entity context

The extracted context around Geometric primitive shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Geometric primitive → ARC/INFO Coverage, Common, Early, Earth-based, Esri, Features, Geographic, Locations, Open Geospatial Consortium's Simple, POLYVRT, Since, They, TIN, Universal Transverse Mercator Another extracted example is Geometric primitive → Line, Planar, Point, The, Volumetric. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
