Hello, I have created a set of layers almost complete, suitable to
perform tests on topological rules used in spatial query, implemented
in ArcGIS Desktop and in gvSIG.
The layers can be downloaded from url [1].

The names of the layers are self explanatory (I hope): inputLines,
inputPolygons and inputPoints are the layers from which we want to
select features performing the spatial query; maskPoints, maskLines
and maskPolygons are the layers where we select features to be used as
comparison (example: select features from layer inputPolygons that
INTERSECT WITH selected features from layer maskLines).

The input theme's attribute table contains, among the other,  fields
R1, R2, ... , R32. From R1 to R13 they refer to the following ArcGIS
Desktop rules:

R1 = intersect
R2 = are within a distance of
R3 = contain
R4 = completely contain
R5 = contain (Clementini)
R6 = are identical to
R7 = touch the boundary of
R8 = share a line segment with
R9 = are crossed by the outline of
R10= have their centroid in
R11= are within
R12= are completely within
R13= are within (Clementini)
