SEF Graphical Feature References

A SEF Graphical Feature Reference is the graphical portion of the SEF Reference Feature and is not a stand-alone feature. When a graphical component is added as part of the SEF Reference feature, that component will automatically becomes a graphical feature reference. There is no need to explicitly indicate that a feature is a graphical feature reference.

If it is the case that there are multiple components within a graphical feature reference, these components have to further aggregated together. For example, if a graphical feature reference contains a text component and a complex string with subtype line and curve, the complex string (which is an aggregate already) should be aggregated together with the text component to form the graphical feature reference.

This feature reference has the same structure as a SEF Component but with the addition of the following attributes:
