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 CANE_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 CANE_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 CANE_ANNO. This coverage contains only annotations, and leader placement. Leaders are coded in the LTYPE field of the arc attribute table and the coverage is built for line topology.
