Types of Classes
An abstract class cannot create new objects; it is a specification for
instances of subclasses (through type inheritance.)
A coclass can directly create objects by declaring a new object.
A class cannot directly create objects, but objects of this class can be
created as a property of another class or instantiated by objects from
another class.
Types of Relationships
Associations represent relationships between classes. They have defined
multiplicities at both ends.
Type inheritance defines specialized classes of objects that share
properties and methods with the superclass and have additional
properties and methods. Note that interfaces in superclasses are not
duplicated in subclasses.
Instantiation specifies that one object from one class has a method with
which it creates an object from another class.
Composition is a relationship in which objects from the "whole" class
control the lifetime of objects from the "part" class.
An N-ary association specifies that more than two classes are
associated. A diamond is placed at the intersection of the association
branches.
A multiplicity is a constraint on the number of objects that can be
associated with another object. Association and composition relationships
have multiplicities on both sides. This is the notation for multiplicities:
1 - One and only one (if none shown, "1" is implied)
0..1 - Zero or one
M..N - From M to N (positive integers)
* or 0..* - From zero to any positive integer
1..* - From one to any positive integer
Special Interfaces
(Optional) represents interfaces that are inherited by some subclasses but not all.
The subclasses list the optional interfaces they implement.
(Instance) represents interfaces that are only on specific instances of the class.
(<classname>) indicates the name of the helper class required to support this
event interface in Visual Basic.
Type inheritance
This diagram illustrates the implicit type inheritance model in the ArcGIS 8.1
component objects. Software interfaces are not duplicated in the child classes.
The objects to the left show a sample view of type inheritance. The objects below
show a flat view of the objects with their full list of interfaces. The two views are
equivalent, but the type inheritance view gives insight into the structural
composition of the object model.

highlight natural groupings by minimizing variance within
a class and maximizing variance between classes

IOverposterTextPath
A Bezier text path is used to
draw text along a curve, from
its start to endpoints
An overposter text path
is used internally by the
ArcObjects label engine
A simple text
path is used to
draw text that
follows a straight
or curved line.
A text path defines a
line along which a
piece of text is placed
A marker text background is a marker symbol
drawn as a background to a piece of text
A callout draws a background
behind a piece of text, with a
leader line to an anchor point
A balloon callout
draws a balloon
behind a piece of text
A line callout draws a line from
an anchor point to a piece of
text, and draws a rectangular
background behind the text
An text symbol defines a Font and many
formatting properties of a piece of text.

ArcObjects is the development platform for ArcGIS Desktop, a suite of GIS
software systems: ArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcView. These systems serve GIS
professionals with a spectrum of geographic data management, spatial editing, and
cartographic visualization functionality.
The ArcGIS Desktop systems each contain a configuration of applications, such as
ArcCatalog, ArcMap, ArcToolbox™, and ArcScene, and can host a variety of
extension products such as Spatial Analyst, Geostatistical Analyst, 3D Analyst™, and
others.
This object model diagram shows how ArcMap presents geographic information
through views and how ArcCatalog manages geodatabases. These are the
ArcObjects components documented in volume one of Exploring ArcObjects.
