Preferred term

polygon operations  

Definition

  • As with many other terms in geographic information science, the term polygon operations arose in a specific technological setting, which emphasized polygons as the primary object to handle. As the field evolved, a broader class of geometric problems became implicated, but the terminology remains. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geographic Information Science; Polygon Operations]
