Each shape has a number of system defined attributes as well user defined attributes. Attributes can be floats, doubles, integers or strings.
New layers can be created in a PAMAP database through GeoGateway. The following keywords in the options string controls the type of layer created:
Point - creates a point layer Vector - creates a polyline layer Polygon - creates a polygon layerThe keyword "LEVELxx" crates the layer on a specific level. For example, "Point LEVEL23" would create a point layer on level 23 of the PAMAP database. In the absence of keywords in the options string, the default behaviour is to create a polygon layer on the next available level.
