Feature Description

Thiessen polygons can be used for qualitative analysis, statistics, proximity analysis, etc. For example, they can describe the characteristics of an area using the properties of discrete points; use point data to calculate polygon area data; determine adjacent discrete points by directly observing n-sided polygons (indicating adjacency to n points); when a data point falls within a Thiessen polygon, it is nearest to the corresponding discrete point without distance calculation.
