Overview of attributes

The databases described in this report were compiled in ARC/INFO, a
commercial Geographic Information System by Environmental Systems
Research Institute.  Almost all the attributes in the various
attribute tables of the coverages included in the report are set or
calculated by ARC/INFO.  The exceptions being <COVER>-ID, LTYPE,
PTYPE, PTTYPE, PATTERN, STRIKE, and DIP.  LTYPE, PTYPE and PTTYPE are
author added aspects of the coverages added to the PAT or AAT and are
used to describe the type of line (LTYPE), area (PTYPE), point or
arcmarker (PTTYPE).  LTYPE and PTTYPE are each defined with WIDTH 35,
OUTPUT 35, and TYPE C (character).  PTYPE is defined with WIDTH 5,
OUTPUT 5, and TYPE C.  STRIKE and DIP are only present in HR_DIP.PAT,
because they describe bedding orientation of point objects.  Each is
defined with WIDTH and OUTPUT of 3, and TYPE I (integer).  PATTERN was
another author-added attribute only in HR_POLY.PAT, and is defined by
WIDTH 3, OUTPUT 3, and TYPE I.  The data in PATTERN correlates
directly with specific values in the PTYPE field.  One coverage not
described is HR_ANNO.  This coverage contains only annotations, and
leader placement.  There are no defined attributes for this coverage.
