	vettore
	directed quantity (1)
	One of the two major types of internal data organization used in GIS. Vector systems are based primarily on coordinate geometry.
	An object defined by both magnitude and direction; in contrast to a scalar, an object with magnitude only.
	In computer graphics, a line drawn in a certain direction from a starting point to an endpoint, both of whose locations are identified by the computer using x-y-coordinates on a grid. Vectors are used in the output of some graphics programs instead of groups of dots (on paper) or pixels (on screen).
