    Understanding Shapefiles

    Multi-File Format

    A shapefile is a collection of related files:

    • .shpStores geometric features
    • .dbfContains attribute data
    • .shxIndex linking geometry to attributes
    • .prjDefines the coordinate system

    Vector Geometry Types

    Shapefiles store vector data using three geometry types:

    • PointsSingle locations (cities, landmarks)
    • LinesLinear features (roads, rivers)
    • PolygonsAreas (countries, parcels, lakes)
