Summary: About representations
- A representation contains information that determines how your spatial data should
be represented on screen or in a printout. Representations are service objects linked
to a domain. The domain determines what is in a map (or a table or a column), and
the representation defines which colors these domain items should have.
- There are different types of representations, depending on the type of domain.
- Class domains always have a user-defined representation Class.
- ID domains cannot have a user-defined representation. They can only be displayed
in 1, 7, 15 or 31 different colors or by one of their attributes (see section 7.2).
- Value domains can have two types of representations:
- representation Value, using actual values as limits;
- representation Gradual, using percentage values as limits.
