21、Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (theInternational Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technic

22、al committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part

23、in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval

24、 by at least75% of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC9636-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC1, Information technology. ISO/IEC9636 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology Computer graphics Interfacing techni

36、ique segment identifier. The graphic objects stored in segments are composed of graphic primitives with associated attribute values. This part of ISO/IEC9636 defines a set of functions for creating, modifying, and manipulating segments. This functionality is divided into the following areas: Segment

37、 manipulation functions, including segment creation, deletion, renaming, and copying. Graphic objects may also be appended to the end of an existing segment. Graphic objects within a segment, however, cannot be modified or deleted. 1) To be published.ISO/IEC9636-4:1991(E) 2 BSI 03-2000 Segment attri

38、bute functions, including modification of segment attributes (e.g.transformation, visibility). Some segment attributes affect the rendered appearance of segments and can be a basis for feedback during graphic picture manipulation. Other attributes affect how input concepts and segments are associate

39、d in support of pick input. Segment inquiry functions, by which access is provided to the information in the description tables and state lists concerned with segments. 3.1.1 Relationship of CGI segments to the graphic output pipeline The overview of the CGI Graphic Object Pipeline presented in ISO/

40、IEC9636-1, clause5, describes the relationship between segments and the pipeline. Additional details are described in this part of ISO/IEC9636 in connection with the particular functional areas that are affected. 3.2 Creating segments 3.2.1 Segment identifiers Each segment has a unique segment ident

41、ifier associated with it. The client can refer to a specific segment by using its associated segment identifier. Once a segment is deleted, the identifier that was associated with it may be reused for another segment definition. The segment identifier associated with a segment may be changed with th

42、e RENAME SEGMENT function. The Maximum Number of Simultaneously Existing Segments entry in the Segment Description Table indicates the number of segments which may coexist at one time (this number is implementation-dependent). The List of Segment Identifiers in use may be inquired from the Segment S

43、tate List. The client provides a segment identifier as a parameter to the CREATE SEGMENT function used to create a new segment. For cases in which the client does not wish to keep a record of which identifiers are available, the function GET NEW SEGMENT IDENTIFIER is provided. This function will ret

44、urn an available segment identifier. A segment identifier is a parameter of most of the functions defined in this part of ISO/IEC9636. 3.2.2 Creating and closing segments Segments are created when the CREATE SEGMENT function is invoked. This is the only means of creating a segment. A segment is open

45、ed by CREATE SEGMENT and the Segment Open State entry in the Segment State List is set to YES. There can be at most one segment open at any one time. While a segment is open, graphic objects passed along the Graphic Object Pipeline are stored in the segment (a process termed segment definition) and

46、rendered on the drawing surface if the segments Visibility attribute is VISIBLE. The open segment is closed by invoking the function CLOSE SEGMENT and the Segment Open State entry in the Segment State List is set to NO (see Figure 1). An existing segment may be reopened at a later time with the REOP

47、EN SEGMENT function. When reopened, subsequent graphic objects are appended to the open segment using the same conceptual mechanism as when the segment was created. A reopened segment is closed by invoking the function CLOSE SEGMENT. NOTEDELETE SEGMENT will change the state from YES or OVERFLOW to N

48、O only if the currently open segment is deleted. Figure 1 Segment Open state transitionsISO/IEC9636-4:1991(E) BSI 03-2000 3 Note that objects stored in segments have associated with them all applicable individual attribute values independent of the value of the corresponding ASF value. Thus by chang

49、ing the ASF (by means of INHERITANCE FILTER, see3.5), it is still possible to display the object with the individual attribute value associated on creation even when the corresponding ASF value was initially BUNDLED. 3.2.3 Non-retained data Any graphic object passing along the pipeline when there is no segment open is termed non-retained data. Such graphic objects are rendered onto the drawing surface in the usual manner as described in ISO/IEC9636-3. However, non-retained data is never rendered
