Remarks
| Feature type | Real-world object or concept | 
|---|---|
| esriFTSimple | Polygons, polylines, and points representing objects or places that have area, such as water bodies; linear objects, such as rivers; and localized positions, such as houses or sample sites. | 
| esriFTSimpleJunction | Simple junction feature in a geometric network representing point objects, such as a fuse, service point, or telephone pole. | 
| esriFTSimpleEdge | Simple edge feature in a geometric network representing polyline objects, such as primary or secondary overheads. | 
| esriFTComplexJunction | Complex junction feature in a geometric network, not in general use. | 
| esriFTComplexEdge | Complex edge feature in a geometric network representing polyline objects such as primary overheads, which have midspan connectivity. Network resources flow through complex edge without interruption by midspan connectivity. | 
| esriFTAnnotation | Place or object names or identifiers, such as street names, hydrant ID numbers, land values, or elevation. | 
| esriFTCoverageAnnotation | Place or object names or identifiers, such as street names, hydrant ID numbers, land values, or elevation. Not supported in geodatabases, only supported in coverage datasets. | 
| esriFTDimension | Measurements, such as distances, lengths, widths, and depths. | 
| esriFTRasterCatalogItem | A raster dataset in a raster catalog that has information, such as footprints, names, metadata, and any other user-defined attributes. |
