Setting vector layer attributes

Layer data, such as symbols, lines, filled areas, polygons, and text, are stored and categorized separately in RepCodes. The RepCode defines each feature by a set of coordinates and descriptive labels. The features are shown as a layer within an area.

Each map element requires its own RepCode. RepCodes also link the vector files to the RST, and tell the system how to show each feature on the screen.

The View Attributes window is a spreadsheet for vector layer information.You can use it to view and edit point data in vector files, and to work with RepCodes.
