Overlay Operations: Intersection, Union, Difference
Overlay operations are a core set of tools in geospatial analysis that enable you to combine, compare, and manipulate spatial datasets based on their geometries. These operations—intersection, union, and difference—allow you to answer questions such as "Where do two datasets overlap?", "What is the combined area covered by two layers?", or "What areas are unique to one layer compared to another?" In GIS, overlay operations are essential for tasks like land use analysis, environmental impact studies, and resource management. By leveraging overlay techniques, you can extract new spatial features and attribute information from existing datasets, forming the backbone of many spatial analyses.
