ISO/IEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate 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 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, ISOIIEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISOIIEC 8632-2 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IS0 8632-2: 1987), which has been technically revised. ISOIIEC 8632 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology - Computer graphics -Metafile for the storage and transfer of picture description information : Part I : Functional specijkation Part 2: Character encoding Part 3: Binary encoding Part 4: Clear text encoding Annex A forms an integral part of this part of ISO/IEC 8632. vii SIST EN 28632-2:1997



ISO/IEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) Introduction 0.1 Purpose of the character encoding The Character Encoding of the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) provides a representation of the Metafile syntax intended for situations in which it is important to minimize the size of the metafile or transmit the metafile through character-oriented communications services. The encoding uses compact representation of data that is optimized for storage or transfer between computer systems. If minimizing the processing overhead is more important than data compaction, an encoding such as the Binary Encoding contained in ISO/IEC 8632-3 may be more appropriate. If human readability is the most important criterion, an encoding such as the Clear Text Encoding in ISO/IEC 8632-4 may be more appropriate. 0.2 Objectives This encoding was designed with the following objectives: a> regular syntax: All elements of the metafile should be encoded in a uniform way so that parsing the metafile is simple; b) compactness: The encoding should provide a highly compact metafile, suitable for systems with restricted storage capacity or transfer bandwidth; C> extensibility: the encoding should allow for future extensions; d) transportability: the encoding should be suitable for use with transport mechanisms designed for character-oriented data based on a standard national character set derived from ISO/IEC 646. 0.3 Metafile characteristics Each CGM command follows a simple regular syntax. Thus, new commands can be added in a future revi- sion of ISO/IEC 8632 such that existing CGM interpreters can recognize (and ignore) the new commands Also, new operands can be added to existing commands in the future revision of the standard such tha existing CGM interpreters can recognize (and ignore) the additional operands. Each CGM operand follows a simple regular syntax. Operands are variable in length. This permits smal values to be represented by the smallest number of bytes. . . . Vlll SIST EN 28632-2:1997



ISO/IEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) Metafile characteristics Introduction A certain range of operand values of standard commands have been reserved for private use; the remaining range is either standardized or reserved for future standardization. 0.4 Relationship to other International Standards The Character Encoding has been developed in collaboration with the IS0 subcommittee responsible for character sets and coding, ECMA, and CEPT. The encoding conforms to the rules for code extension specified in IS0 2022 in the category of complete coding system. The representation of character data in this part of ISO/IEC 8632 follows the rules of ISO/IEC 646 and IS0 2022. For certain elements, the CGM defines value ranges as being reserved for registration. The values and t.he.ir meanings will be defined using the established procedures (see ISO/IEC 8632-1, sub-clause 4.12.) 1x SIST EN 28632-2:1997

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) Information technology - Computer graphics - Metafile for the storage and transfer of picture description information - Part 2 : Character encoding 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 8632 specifies a character encoding of the Computer Graphics Metafile. For each of the elements specified in ISO/IEC 8632-1 an encoding is specified. This encoding of the Computer Graphics Metafile provides a highly compact representation of the metafile, suitable for applications that require the metafile to be of minimum size and suitable for transmission with character-oriented transmission services.

ISO/IEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) 3 Notational conventions 3.1 7,Bit and &Bit code tables The bits of the bit combinations of the 7-bit code are identified by b7, b6, b5, b4, b3, b2, and bl, where b7 is the highest-order, or most-significant, bit and bl is the lowest-order, or least-significant, bit. The bit combinations may be interpreted to represent integers in the range 0 to 127 in binary notation by attributing the following weights to the individual bits: . Bit . Weight b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 bl . . . 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 In this part of ISO/IEC 8632, the bit combinations are identified by notation of the form x/y, where x is a number in the range 0 to 7 and y is a number in the range 0 to 15. The correspondence between the nota- tions of the form xl/y and the bit combinations consisting of the bits b7 to bl is as follows: - x is the number represented by b7, b6, and b5 where these bits are given the weights 4, 2, and 1 respectively; - y is the number represented by b4, b3, b2, and bl where these bits are given the weights 8,4,2, and 1 respectively. The notations of the form x/y are the same as those used to identify code table positions, where x is the column number and y is the row number. A 7-bit code table consists of 128 positions arranged in eight columns and sixteen rows. The columns are numbered 0 to 7 and the rows are numbered 0 to 15. Figure 1 shows a 7-bit code table. An example illustrates the 7-bit code: “l/l 1” refers to the bit combination in column 1, row 11 of the code table, binary 0011011. The bits of the bit combinations of the 8-bit code are identified by b8, b7, b6, b5, b4, b3, b2, and bl, where b8 is the highest-order, or most-significant, bit and bl is the lowest-order, or least-significant, bit. The bit combinations may be interpreted to represent integers in the range 0 to 255 in binary notation by attributing the following weights to the individual bits: . Bit . Weight b8 b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 bl . . . 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 Using these weights, the bit combinations of the 8-bit code are interpreted to represent numbers in the range 0 to 255. In this part of ISO/IEC 8632, the bit combinations are identified by notation of the form xxIyy, where XX and yy are numbers in the range 00 to 15. The correspondence between the notations of the form xx/yy and the bit combinations consisting of the bits b8 to bl is as follows: - xx is the number represented by b8, b7, b6, and b5 where these bits are given the weights 8,4, 2, and 1 respectively; - yy is the number represented by b4, b3, b2, and bl where these bits are given the weights 8,4, 2, and 1 respectively. The notations of the form ;“IxIyy are the same as those used to identify code table positions, where XX is the column number and yy is the row number. An 8-bit code table consists of 256 positions arranged in sixteen columns and sixteen rows. The columns and rows are numbered 00 to 15. Figure 2 shows an 8-bit code 3 SIST EN 28632-2:1997



ISOlIEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) 7-Bit and &Bit code tables Notational conventions table. An example illustrates the 8-bit code: 04/01 represents the 8-bit byte 01000001, whereas 4/l represents the 7-bit byte 1000001. 3.2 Code extension techniques vocabulary In describing the characters that may occur within string parameters, certain terms imported from other standards (e.g., IS0 2022) are useful. In the context of the CGM, these terms, and the concepts to which they refer, apply only within the string parameters of the TEXT, APPEND TEXT, and RESTRICTED TEXT metafile elements. 3.2.1 CO sets A CO set is a set of 30 control characters represented in a 7-bit code by O/O to l/15, except O/14 and O/l5 which shall be unused, and in an 8-bit code by OO/OO to 01/15, except 00/14 and 00/15 which shall be unused. CO sets occupy columns 0 and 1 of a 7-bit code table or columns 00 and 01 of an 8-bit code table. The meanings of CO controls within string parameters are described in 6.9.3. 3.2.2 Cl sets A Cl set is a set of up to 32 control characters represented by bit combinations OS/O0 to 09/15 in an 8-bit code. Cl sets occupy columns 08 and 09 of the 8-bit code table. In a 7-bit code the Cl control functions are represented by 2-byte escape sequences. This CGM encoding reserves the bit combinations 9/8 and 9/12 (ESC 5/8 and ESC 5/12 in a 7-bit environment, ESC = l/l 1); these shall not be part of the content of string parameters. Other Cl control characters from other standards, such as IS0 6429, may be used within string parameters by agreement between the interchanging parties. 3.2.3 G-sets The G-sets (GO, Gl, G2, G3) are coded character sets of 94 or 96 characters. CHARACTER SET INDEX designates which character set is to be the GO set. ALTERNATE CHARACTER SET INDEX designates a character set to be used as both the Gl and G2 sets. The G-sets may be “invoked into” (caused to occupy) columns 2 through 7 of a 7-bit code table, or columns 02 through 07 and 10 through 15 of an 8-bit code table. This encoding of the CGM uses the GO and Gl/G2 sets within string parameters. The G3 set may be used within the string parameters of conforming metafiles; this requires selection of the extended 7-bit or extended 8-bit mode in the CHARAmR CODING ANNOUNCER. The CGM does not provide an ele- ment to explicitly designate the G3 sets; this may be done within a text string in accordance with IS0 2022, or by other means agreed upon by the interchanging parties.

ISO/IEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) 4 Entering and leaving the metafile environment 4.1 Implicitly entering the metafile environment The CGM coding environment may be entered implicitly, by agreement between the interchanging parties. This is suitable only if there is not to be any interchange with services using other coding techniques. 4.2 Designating and invoking the CGM coding environment from IS0 2022 For interchange with services using the code extension techniques of IS0 2022, the CGM coding environ- ment shall be designated and invoked from IS0 2022 environment by the following escape sequence: ESC 215 F where ESC is the bit combination l/l 1, and F refers to a bit combination that will be assigned by the IS0 Registration Authority for IS0 2375. The first bit combination occuring after this escape sequence will then represent the opcode of a CGM metafile element. After the end of one or more metafiles (i.e., after the END METAFILE clement) or between pictures (i.e., after the END PICTURE element), the following escape sequence may be used to return to the IS0 2022 coding environment: ESC 215 4/O This not only returns to the IS0 2022 coding environment, but also restores the designation and invocation of coded character sets to the state that existed prior to entering the CGM coding environment with the ESC 2/5 F sequence. (The terms “designation” and “invocation” arc defined in IS0 2022.) SIST EN 28632-2:1997



ISO/IEC 8632-2: 1992 (E) 5 Method of encoding opcodes Each metafile element is composed of one opcode and parameters as required. The opcodcs are coded as a sequence of bit combinations from columns 2 and 3 of the code chart. The encoding technique supplies: - the basic opcode set; - extension opcode sets. 5.1 Encoding technique of the basic opcode set The basic opcode set consists of single-byte and double-byte opcodes. Single-byte opcodes are from column 2 of the code chart. Bits b4 to bl are used to encode the opcode. The format is as follows: b8 bl +-+-- -- -+- -- -- --+ 1x10 1 Olb b b bl +-+-----+-------+ The “X” bit (bit b8) is the parity bit (or omitted bit) in a 7-bit environment. In an 8-bit environm
