		A spatial vector is a special case of a tensor and is also analogous to a four-vector in relativity (and is sometimes therefore called a three-vector in reference to the three spatial dimensions, although this term also has another meaning for p-vectors of differential geometry).
		Vectors can be contrasted with scalar quantities such as distance, speed, energy, time, temperature, charge, power, work, and mass, which have magnitude, but no direction (they are invariant under coordinate rotations).
		The length or magnitude or norm of the vector a is denoted by

		For a generic manifold, velocity is a vector belonging to the tangent space of that manifold at whatever point, and position is a point which need not be a vector.
		Vectors are defined in a coordinate-free way all the time, and n-tuples don't define vectors unless they form a linear space in some natural way, which isn't how we usually think of charts on spheres.
		such that (i) the resulting vector is mutually orthoganol to the generating vectors, and (ii) the length of the resulting vector is equal to the hypervolume of the parallelpiped formed by those vectors.

		Often informally described as an object with a "magnitude" (size) and "direction", a vector is more formally defined by its relationship to the spatial coordinate system under rotations.
		Such a vector is a special case of a tensor and is also analogous to a four-vector in relativity (and is sometimes therefore called a three-vector in reference to the three spatial dimensions, although this term also has another meaning for p-vectors of differential geometry).
		Informally, a vector is a quantity, characterized by a number (indicating size or "magnitude") and a direction, that is often represented graphically by an arrow.

	SDTS: Spatial Data Transfer Standard - Part 1, Logical Specification
		The vector modules are designed for the transfer of vector data as objects; that is, each module record defines a vector object including links to its component parts as well as a possible direct link to its attribute data.
		The vector objects of 2.3 have been grouped into corresponding modules according to the similarity in data fields required to represent the object.
		The vector-based spatial objects may include both the downward "is composed of" definition in the composite module and the upward "composes" definition in the Point-Node, Line, Arc, Ring, and Polygon modules.

		Often informally described as an object with a "magnitude" and "direction", a vector is more formally defined by itsrelationship to the spatial coordinate system under rotations.Alternatively, it can be defined in a coordinate -free fashion via a tangent space of a three-dimensional manifold in the language of differentialgeometry.
		Such a vector is a special case of a tensor and is also analogous to a four-vector in relativity (and is sometimes therefore called a three-vector in reference to the threespatial dimensions, although this term also has another meaning for p-vectors ofdifferential geometry).
		Moregenerally, a vector is a tensor of contravariant rank one.

	Introduction to GIS - vector based GIS
		Vector data is comprised of lines or arcs, defined by beginning and end points, which meet at nodes.
		Vector storage involves the storage of explicit topology, which raises overheads, however it only stores those points which define a feature and all space outside these features is 'non-existent'.
		In the vector based model (figure 4), geospatial data is represented in the form of co-ordinates.

		Vector point symbols created in TNTmips can now be converted to a relational table structure that is used to define a Billboard and Stalk (B&S) symbol layer in your simulation.
		Overlay layers created from vectors with 3D coordinates (which can be any of the three overlay types) retain their vertical coordinates and, therefore, do not need to reference a particular terrain layer when shown in your geosim.
		If the extent of a vector, CAD, or TIN object is reset when saved because you have made an edit alteration to reduce its extent (for example, you remove a stray outlying point element whose inclusion causes inflated extents in a view), the save action will also cause a redraw using these new extents.

	About differences between vector images and rasterized images
		Its spatial resolution is determined by the resolution of the acquisition device and the quality of the original data source.
		When increasing the spatial resolution by 2 times, the total size of a two-dimensional raster image will increase by 4 times because the number of pixels is doubled in both X and Y dimensions.
		Besides the size issue, vector data is easier than raster data to handle on a computer because it has fewer data items and it is more flexible to be adjusted for different scale, for example, a projection system in mapping application.

		Vector data is characterized by the use of sequential points or vertices to define a linear segment.

	Network analysis - raster versus vector
		In both cases the flow of movement, either from node to node in a network, or from cell to neighbouring cell of a raster, is subject to resistance, determining the direction and speed of flow.
		Using vector, it is easier to import the attribute data of a given network in from an external database, which is where the data often would be stored in real life.
		The vector data model is feature oriented, as it represents space as a series of discrete entities, which are geographically referenced by Cartesian coordinates.

	Spatial Data Organization
		Spatial Data Organization describes the mechanism used to represent spatial information in the data set.
		Indirect spatial reference methods usually use a geographic feature, such as a county, state, township or section of the Public Land Survey System, or a road, to uniquely identify a place.
		Indirect spatial references are [important] because they are a very common means by which observations of other attribute information are tied to a place.

		An important element of the scheme is the choice of a shift vector that allows the fl hole orbital dynamics to be followed while the spatial coordinates remain regular and that provides a good discretization of the exterior region.
		The first part is a vector field that is outward pointing on each horizon with magnitude close to the coordinate speed of light and falling off towards zero at large distances.
		Superposed on this is a vector field with sinusoidal angular dependence (locally uniform vector field) at the horizon, which also decreases with distance.

		Digital spatial data sets produced by the USGS include information stored in both vector and raster data structures.
		The Topological Vector Profile of the SDTS has been approved and available since February 1994 for use in exchange of vector-based spatial data and their attributes.
		This will ensure that formats of spatial data products from the USGS are more consistent and users of major GIS systems will be able to import most USGS data with a minimum of translator software.

		The basic structure of a vector format is therefore the polygon, to which attributes are logically attached.
		This uses vector data in which two map sheets (or data layers) with different classifications, representing the same (or overlapping) areas, are combined to produce a hybrid map.
		The operations use a spatial decomposition of a map sheet into rectangular blocks or strips, the exact decomposition being determined at run-time according to the spatial distribution of the data.

		When it comes to give good support to overlay and spatial queries you also have to think at a fast way perform them: spatial indexes are the solutions, and there are some already made libraries that can build R-trees...
		In particular, this is a non-topological approach, and it seems that the GRASS community does not wish to alter the approach to vectors this dramatically.
		Should be spatial operations part of vector lib (Vect_()) or shall we open new vector* spatial lib (VS_*()) - maybe GPL only (not LGPL).

	physics - Vector (spatial)
		In physics and engineering, the word vector typically refers to a quantity that has close relationship to the spatial coordinates, informally described as an object with a "magnitude" and a "direction".
		To normalize a vector, scale the vector by the inverse of its length.
		Technically, the scalar triple product isn't a scalar, it is a pseudoscalar: under a coordinate inversion (x goes to −x), it flips sign.
