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.
