A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a tool for managing, analyzing, and presenting various geographic data. The idea was first presented in 1960, and since then, it has been studied and developed as a new discipline. The first version of GIS, which Roger Tomlinson is credited with inventing, was created to collect, store, and analyze data about land use in Canada. Vector and raster are the two types of GIS or geographic data. The point, line, and polygon are the three types of vector data. A point can represent the fundamental latitude and longitude information or the precise location of a given area, structure, or individual. The line represents linear features like rivers, trails, and roads. A polygon, however, shows the edge of a city, a forest, or any other significant area.
