  • This looks like two questions so to fit the Q&A format of GIS-SE would you be able to focus this Question on the one you would like answered first, please? – PolyGeo Nov 12 '13 at 11:29
  • @PolyGeo kindly give me the answer to the first question I have posted. – Arun Nov 12 '13 at 11:35
  • This looks like you are trying to re-use a closed Question for a new one. I recommend that this one is rolled back and remains closed (as a duplicate) and that a second Question be asked with considerably more detail about what exactly is being asked. – PolyGeo Nov 13 '13 at 04:33

    As someone who wants to know the answer to this question, the other question talks about different concepts which just confuses me. As such, although I understand what this question is asking I do not understand what the other question is asking. I believe this question should be 'unduplicated' – Chris Snow May 27 '15 at 08:33
  • @ChrisSnow This was a messy Q&A because it started with two questions (see [Tour] for desirability of one question per question), then the first was answered and accepted by the asker, then the asker changed the question to be the other one. If this Q&A does not answer what you need to know, which I think is the answer to the original second question, then I recommend researching/asking it as a new question. – PolyGeo May 27 '15 at 09:41

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this question the users should have know already before ask a question. – PROBERT Jan 18 '20 at 16:52
