All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultRangeType
```
public interface RangeType
```
Defines the fields (categories, measures, or values) in the range records available for each location in the coverage domain. Each such field may be a scalar (numeric or text) value, such as population density, or a vector (compound or tensor) of many similar values, such as incomes by race, or radiances by wavelength.
