Geography

The Geography tab displays the geographic extent of the layer. In addition, for shapefiles, the code page of the table and the number of features in the layer are displayed along with an indication of whether the shapefile has a spatial index.

# Features

Displays the number of features in the shapefile or ArcPad AXF layer.

This is a display-only field. This information is only displayed for shapefile and AXF layers.

DBF Codepage

Displays the code page specified in the DBF table of the shapefile.

This is a display-only field. This information is only displayed for shapefile layers

Codepage in use

Displays the code page used by ArcPad for the table of the shapefile. If the code page is specified in the DBF table, the code page in use is the same as the DBF code page. If the code page is not specified in the DBF table, the code page in use is determined as described in the “Locales and code pages” section of this reference guide.

This is a display-only field. This information is only displayed for shapefile layers.

Using Spatial Index

Displayed if the shapefile contains a spatial index-that is, .sbn and .sbx files.

This is a display-only field. This information is only displayed for shapefile layers.

xMin

Displays the minimum x-coordinate of the layer’s extent in map projection units.

This is a display-only field.

xMax

Displays the maximum x-coordinate of the layer’s extent in map projection units.

This is a display-only field.

yMin

Displays the minimum y-coordinate of the layer’s extent in map projection units.

This is a display-only field.

yMax

Displays the maximum y-coordinate of the layer’s extent in map projection units.

This is a display-only field.

Width

Displays the width of the layer’s extent in map projection units.

This is a display-only field.

Height

Displays the height of the layer’s extent in map projection units.

This is a display-only field.
