Question

Which one of the following is an advantage of Vector data format?

पर्याय

• Complex data structure

• Difficult overlay operations

• Lack of compatibility with remote sensing data

• Compact data structure

Answer 1

Compact data structure

Explanation:

Vector data represents geographic features using precise coordinate points (X, Y), lines, and polygons. Because it records only the actual coordinates of these specific features rather than storing every single square pixel of the entire map grid, as with raster data, it requires significantly less computer memory. This makes the overall file size small and gives it a highly compact data structure.
