[JPP-Devel] feature vs item

2009-03-06 Thread Giuseppe Aruta
hi all, I am conscious this is an old discussion: What is the difference between item and feature? Which one of them is synonimous of object? I also ask to non-english speakers to write down the terminology in their languages (basically Latine language like Spanish, French, Portuguese).

Hi, I think Sunburned Surveyor is correct. Item refers to the way SelectionManager works (see the second and third button of the edition toolbox). Selection manager can select the whole geometry of a feature, or only a part of this geometry, or only a ring in a polygon in a multipolygon... Any
