National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate

35、 in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and

36、non- governmental, in liaison with IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTCl. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for vot

37、ing. Publication as International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the national bodies cast- ing a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC 7942-l was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTCl, Informa- tion technology, Sub-Committee 24, Computer graphics and image processing. This

38、 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 7942: 1985) which has been technically revised. ISO/IEC 7942 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology - Computer graphics and image processing - Graphical Kernel System (GKS): Part I : Functional descr

39、iption Part 2: NDC metafile Part 3: Audit trail Part 4: Picture part archive Annexes A and B form an integral part of this part of ISO/IEC 7942. Annexes C, D, E, F, G, and H are for information only. . . . VIII OISO/IEC ISO/IEC 7942-1:1994(E) Introduction The Graphical Kernel System (GKS) provides a

40、 set of functions for computer graphics programming that can be used by a range of applications. The main motivations for standardization are to improve portability of pro- grams and to define a basic methodology. Portability is achieved by providing all the capabilities necessary in a device indepe

41、ndent way. The following principles are used in specifying GKS: a) Design: the three goals are consistency of approach, compatibility with related standards and orthogonal functionality where possible. b) Functionality: the goals are completeness with the minimal set of functions. Organization of fu

42、nctions should be such as to achieve compact programs. Richness should be provided by utilities and toolkits on top of GKS rather than non-standard extensions to GKS. c) Clarity: the underlying concepts should be easily understood, especially by the application programmer. To achieve this, GKS is de

43、fined using a small set of functions with precise specification of the data struc- tures that define the state of GKS and the effect that functions have on this state. d) Error handling: all errors caused by incorrect function invocations or internal failures are logged with the application having c

44、ontrol over the action taken. e) Separation of device dependent functionality: in GKS there is a clear separation between the functional- ity that is device dependent and device independent. GKS has the concept of a workstation which deals with all device dependent functions. f) Implementation: GKS

45、should be realizable in a wide range of host languages. The support GKS requires from the operating system should not be excessive. GKS should be efficient to implement on commonly available hardware and it should be easy to produce a robust product. This International Standard (known informally as

46、GKS-94”) has a strong relationship to the principles and functionality of IS0 7942:1985 (known informally as “GKS-85”). However, it has been updated to provide additional functionality, cleaner concepts and an International Standard for modem hardware. Minor changes made include some additional pri

47、mitives, some minor extensions to input, a clearer definition of the NDC pic- ture and simplification of deferral. A nameset attribute has been added and this is used as a selection criterion for a range of functions. As a result, the equivalent of the IS0 7942: 1985 segment (picture part) no longer

48、 needs attributes separate from the primitive attributes. The segment facilities of IS0 7942:1985 are provided in terms of the new picture part store. The IS0 7942:1985 metafile is replaced by an audit trail and an NDC metafile based on the Computer Graph- ics Metafile (ISO/IEC 8632). ISOAEC 7942-l:

It provides functions for two dimensional graphical output, the storage and dynamic modification of pictures, and operator input. GKS functions and datatypes are specified independently of pro- gramming languages. GKS establishes a system for devi
