The “blame” for this limited representational expressiveness can probably be split between designers’ lack of education about geographic information as well as a dearth of popular tools that support vector features of greater than zero dimensions. For many geoweb applications, GSP does not restrict functionality a great deal, but in some cases, the points - only paradigm borders on ridiculous."<br /><br />Doug Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836423450316846200noreply@blogger.com
