TypeTree
The TypeTree setting is the name of the type tree file (.mtt) that contains the
type describing the data represented by the card.
Cards represent a particular data object. Therefore, each input card and each
output card is associated with a type in a type tree that describes the content of
that data. Therefore, each card includes a type tree and type name as part of its
definition. This type tree is the link between the Type Designer and the Map
Designer that communicates the structure and properties of the data to the Map
Designer.
