***deg line (degenerate line) - A line that starts and ends at the same node (a zero length line). Used to represent points in a DLG data file. Not supported in most other data formats including all ArcInfo and Arcview formats. In ArcInfo and Arcview data, these features are often represented as true point data or as very small arcs forming a circle around the point location.
