Description

Superclass

·         <DRM Primitive Feature>

Class

·         <DRM Areal Feature>

Subclass

·         none

Definition

A <DRM Primitive Feature> that encloses a bounded region, such as a lake, a forest, or a built-up area.

Example(s)

·         A lake might be represented as an <DRM Areal Feature>. It has a <DRM Feature Face>, which defines its size, shape, and topological relationships; <DRM Property Value>s that describe its characteristics, such as bottom composition, and a <DRM Label> that identifies it as "Duck Lake".

Notes

1 These data objects support "attributes for derived objects." That is, these components are used only to specify texture mapping information for geometry that is derived from the <DRM Feature> by the consumer. These <DRM Image Mapping Function>s shall use <DRM Image Anchor> components to specify the mapping.

2 This is needed because in many cases, a <DRM Primitive Feature> may be significant only for a particular domain, e.g. radar.
