43、 1999 All rights reservedIntroduction0.1 Purpose of the clear text encodingThe Clear Text Encoding of the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) provides a representation of the Metafilesyntax that is easy to type, edit and read. It allows a metafile to be edited with any standard text editor, using thein
44、ternal character code of the host computer system.0.2 Primary objectivesa) Human editable: The Clear Text Encoding should be able to be hand edited or, if desired, hand constructed.b) Human friendly: The Clear Text Encoding should be easy and natural for people to read and edit. Althoughwhat is easi
45、est and most natural is a subjective judgment that varies among users, contributing factors such asease of recognition, ease of remembering, avoidance of ambiguity, and prevention of mistyping have all beenconsidered.c) Machine readable: The Clear Text Encoding should be able to be parsed by softwar
46、e.d) Suitable for use in a wide variety of editors: The Clear Text Encoding should not have any features that makeit difficult to edit in normal text editors.e) Facilitate interchange between diverse systems: The Clear Text Encoding should be encoded in such a wayas to maximize the set of systems wh
47、ich can utilize it. No assumptions should be made as to word size orarithmetic modes used to interpret the metafile.f) Use standardized abbreviations as much as possible: Where language encoding of other graphics standardshave established standard abbreviations, or where common practice in the data
48、processing and graphicsindustries has established well known abbreviations, these abbreviations are used. In accordance with theprinciple of “least astonishment”, this approach should minimize the time needed to learn to use this encoding.0.3 Secondary objectivesBecause the other CGM encoding (the C
49、GM Binary Encoding) is targeted toward CPU efficiency and informationdensity, these objectives are considered of secondary importance for the CGM Clear Text Encoding.0.4 Relationship to other International StandardsThe set of characters required to implement the Clear Text Encoding is a subset of those included in nationalversions of ISO/IEC 646. Any character set that can be mapped to and from that subset may be used to implementthe encoding.For certain elements, the CGM defines value ranges as being reserved for registratio
