kartlager
Kartlager is a term used in geographic information systems (GIS) to denote a single dataset that is layered on top of a map to represent geographic features. A kartlager may contain vector data such as points representing cities, lines for roads, or polygons for administrative boundaries, as well as raster data like aerial imagery or digital elevation models. Each kartlager carries its own attributes and styling rules, which determine how features appear on the map.
In GIS practice, kartlager are organized into layers to enable flexible map composition, data management, and
Visualization and interaction are controlled by layer properties, including visibility, transparency, drawing order, and scale-dependent rendering.
Kartlager are essential for tasks such as urban planning, environmental monitoring, navigation, and cartographic production, enabling
