Layer Files
•
Layer Files reference geographic data stored on a disk.
You can think of them as a cartographic view of your
geographic data.
•
They are separate files on a disk and have a .lyr
extension.
•
Layer a reference to a data source such as a coverage,
geodatabase feature class, raster and so on.
•
In ArcGIS 9, layers can be used as inputs to
geoprocessing tools. Layers can be stored in map
documents (.mxd) or saved individually as layer files
(.lyr).
