Defining the Visual for
Categories and Classes
The term visual is
used in SPRING to define the data graphic presentation characteristics (points, lines, polygons and texts). The visual is defined to each category model,
and also, for the classes inside the category of the thematic model, for
instance: a soil category (in the thematic model) can have a visual.
