Preferred term

geometric primitives  

Definition(s)

  • In many fields of design, including information systems, a “primitive” is the building block from which more complex forms are constructed. Thus, in a geographic information system (GIS), there are a small number of geometric forms that serve as the geometric basis on which a richer system can be constructed.
