WebCGM 2.1 — WebCGM Profile


Contents

6 WebCGM Profile

This section and its subsections are normative.

6.1 WebCGM Proforma

The following profile proforma (PPF) defines the WebCGM application profile for CGM files with a comparison to the ISO Model Profile as defined in ISO/IEC 8632:1999. The tables for the ISO Model Profile are duplicated here for reference and are intended to be accurate. In case of discrepancies, the Model Profile in ISO/IEC 8632:1999 shall take precedence. In the PPF, there are references such as 9.5.4.5, 7.5.11, and Annex I, etc. These are references to sections of the CGM:1999 text, from which this proforma is extracted. Other internal PPF references look like T.16.13 and Attachment 26.3, which are references to table entries in the PPF itself.

The Model Profile (in the ISO CGM:1999 text) uses check boxes to indicate whether an item is required, permitted, or prohibited in metafiles conforming to the Model Profile. Authors of cascading profiles should be aware that the Model Profile does not have all three possible choices for each item, and that alternate choices are indicated here in the tables with "No" and the "checked" choice is indicated with "Yes." For example, this rule "Element is: Required Yes; Permitted No;" means that the element is required in all metafiles conforming to WebCGM 2.1 and that authors of cascading profiles could choose to make the element optional (Permitted), but they must not prohibit the element.

Geometric degeneracies are: Permitted Yes; Prohibited No;

If permitted, graphical meaning of the degeneracy: A line primitive element, whose entire locus is a single point, denotes a graphical dot which is a filled circle, with diameter equal to the current line width and colour equal to the current line colour.

Other: None.

T.14.3

Same as Model Profile: Yes

 

Filled area primitives -

geometric degeneracies

References:

9.5.4.4

Geometric degeneracies are: Permitted Yes; Prohibited No;

If permitted, graphical meaning of the degeneracy: A filled-area primitive element, whose entire locus is either a single point or a line has the following meaning:

- If the locus of a filled-area primitive is a single point, then the meaning is a dot (which is a filled circle).

- If the locus of a filled-area primitive is a non-degenerate line segment, then the meaning is a line.

The dot or line is displayed with the fill colour if EDGE VISIBILITY is 'off', unless INTERIOR STYLE is 'empty', in which case it is not rendered. If EDGE VISIBILITY is 'on', the interior treatment is the dot or line displayed in the fill colour, and then a dot or line superimposed with the current edge attributes.

Other: None.

T.14.4

Same as Model Profile: No

 

Graphical text strings

References:

9.5.4.5

Minimum string length (bytes): 0

Maximum string length (bytes): 254

Any restrictions on the use of ISO/IEC 2022 switching controls?

The C0 character NUL (code value) is permitted and has no effect. String parameters of graphical text shall contain no control character (7/8 bit codes: 1-31 and 128-159). ISO/IEC 2022 switching is not allowed in graphical text. A valid WebCGM metafile may use for graphical text only the character encodings (CGM "character sets"): the collection of four character encodings which comprise ISO Latin1 and Symbol (see CHARACTER SET LIST); Unicode UTF-8; and UTF-16.

Other: None.

Note. According to the Binary Encoding of CGM:1999, strings of multi-byte Unicode text are "big-endian", like the rest of the binary metafile.

Minimum string length (bytes): 0.

Maximum string length (bytes): 254.

Any restrictions on the use of ISO/IEC 2022 switching controls? C0 control codes (except NUL and ISO/IEC 2022 switching) are prohibited.

Any character set used in the metafile which is accessed by ISO/IEC 2022 switching techniques shall be in the Character Set List (defined in this profile).

Other: None.

T.14.5

Same as Model Profile: No

 

Non-graphical text strings

References:

9.5.4.6

Maximum string length (bytes):

for type SF: 254

for type SF within type D: 1024

Format effectors and ESC: Permitted Yes; Prohibited No;

Note: according to CGM:1999, the format effectors are NUL, CR, LF, BS, HT, VT, and FF.

Other C0 control codes (except NUL and ISO/IEC 2022 switching) are prohibited.

Any limits on the set of acceptable character encodings (CGM "character sets")? The permitted character encodings (CGM "character sets") for non-graphical text are ISO Latin 1 (LHS & RHS), and UNICODE UTF-8, and Unicode UTF-16. Only one of these three shall be used throughout any particular WebCGM metafile instance. According to the CGM standard, the default SF character encoding ("set"), at the beginning of the 'metafile id' parameter of the BEGIN METAFILE element is ISO Latin 1. If the metafile is to use UTF-8 for SF parameters, then the following 4-octet ISO 2022 sequence shall occur as the first 4 octets of the 'metafile id' parameter:

ESC 2/5 2/15 4/9

If the metafile is to use UTF-16 for SF parameters, then the following 4-octet ISO 2022 sequence shall occur as the first 4 octets of the 'metafile id' parameter:

ESC 2/5 2/15 4/12

Otherwise, the use of ISO 2022 switching is prohibited in non-graphical text string.

NOTE: Section 6.3.4.5 of CGM:1999 allows the switching to UTF-8 (variable length multi-byte), and allows the use of 8-bit access to the ISO Latin 1 set.

Any restrictions on the use of ISO/IEC 2022 switching controls?

Any character encodings (CGM "character sets") used in the metafile which is accessed by ISO/IEC 2022 switching techniques shall be in the character set list (defined in this profile).

Other: See 3.1.1 for additional restrictions to the character repertoire for those WebCGM non-graphical strings which may be part of the WebCGM IRI fragment.

Note. According to the Binary Encoding of CGM:1999, strings of multi-byte Unicode text are "big-endian", like the rest of the binary metafile.

Maximum string length (bytes):

for type SF: 254.

for type SF within type D: 1024.

Format effectors and ESC: Permitted Yes; Prohibited No;

Other C0 control codes (except NUL and ISO/IEC 2022 switching) are prohibited.

Any limits on the set of acceptable character sets? The permitted character sets are ISO 8859-1 LHS No.1 and ISO 8859-1 RHS No.1.

Any restrictions on the use of ISO/IEC 2022 switching controls?

Any character set used in the metafile which is accessed by ISO/IEC 2022 switching techniques shall be in the character set list (defined in this profile).

Attachment 26.3

Colour requirements, Model Profile:

The colour mapping step (CMS) and colour rendering step (CRS) for each class of interpreters is as follows:

  • monochrome:
    CMS
    all foreground information is mapped to one colour, background information to another colour.
    CRS
    all foreground information is mapped to one colour, background information to another colour.
  • greyscale:
    CMS
    32 gray levels, the recommendations of annex D.3.2 is used to map colour to gray.
    CRS
    a unique representation of each of the levels of gray.
  • full colour:
    CMS
    5R,9G,5B grid of RGB colour cube, plus a 32 gray levels (0-1), some of which are already on the grid.
    CRS
    a unique representation of the 254 (255) "colours".

6.16 Line and Edge Style Definitions

WebCGM supports both generic, but imprecise line types, and specific, precise line types. The realizations of line types 1..5 are described in general terms in the CGM standard (e.g., "dash-dot-dot"), and the realizations and constraints of the registered line types 6..15 are described in the ISO Register of Graphical Items (e.g., requirements for inking vertexes in certain engineering line types). Otherwise, the exact line patterns of implicit line types 1..15 are unconstrained. Where exact realizations of line types are expected and required, the LINE AND EDGE TYPE DEFINITION element should be used.

6.17 Hatch Style Definitions

WebCGM supports both generic, but imprecise hatch styles, and specific, precise hatch styles. The realizations of hatch styles 1..6 are described in general terms in the CGM standard. Otherwise, the exact hatch patterns of implicit hatch styles 1..6 are unconstrained. Where exact realizations of hatch styles are expected and required, the HATCH STYLE DEFINITION element should be used.

6.18 JPEG Compression within the Tile Element

This profile allows the use of JPEG restricted to the TILE element. The method is limited to BASELINE JPEG. BASELINE JPEG conforms to the process required for all DCT-based decoders. The colour selection mode of the TILE element shall always be direct, independent of the COLOUR SELECTION MODE in effect in the CGM. The cell colour precision parameter of the TILE shall always be 8-bit for BASELINE JPEG. The COLOUR model of the TILE element shall be defined in the method specific parameters element of the TILE. It can be the same or independent of the COLOUR MODEL of the CGM. BASELINE JPEG shall assume that the order of the spectral bands is the same order given by the colour model as defined by the method specific parameters. For example, if the model is RGB, each scan will compress the red component, followed by the green component, followed by the blue component. For the case where the colour model is "RGB related", the specific colour model shall be defined in the method specific parameters of the TILE element. The method specific parameters shall be present for each image compressed using BASELINE JPEG. The parameters shall be encoded as an SDR. The JPEG colour model parameter is required and is specified according to the rules of the INDEX PRECISION element. Valid values are:

Values outside the range of 0-5 are not allowed. The JPEG colour submodel is required only when the JPEG colour model is "RGB related" and is specified according to the rules of the INDEX PRECISION ELEMENT. Valid values are:

Other values are not allowed.
