39、te space control, and error control. The functionality incorporated in this part of ISO/IEC9636 is concerned with the management of the graphics image and the interrelationship of the graphical and non-graphical parts of the interface. This functionality is divided into the following areas: Virtual

40、Device management functions, which allows the CGI client to initiate and terminate sessions of dialogue and to manage the graphics image on the Virtual Device. Coordinate space control functions, for the establishment of coordinate information, placement of the picture on the drawing surface, and fo

41、r the management of drawing surface clipping. Error control functions, which involves the detection of errors both at and subsequent to the transmission of parameters through the CGI. Miscellaneous control functions, for the establishment of data stream numeric precisions, the accessing of implement

42、ation specific functionality, and the accessing of CGI external functions. Control inquiry functions, which provide access to the description tables and state lists concerned with function and Profile support, device description, and CGI control information. 3.2 Virtual Device management 3.2.1 Devic

43、e control The CGI Virtual Device is initialized by the function INITIALIZE. The function TERMINATE sets the CGI Virtual Device in a state in which further CGI commands, other than INITIALIZE, will be ignored. It is not required that any other action take place. There are no state restrictions on the

44、 use of INITIALIZE and TERMINATE, i.e.INITIALIZE and TERMINATE may be used at any time. The Virtual Device is required to perform in conformance with ISO/IEC9636 from when the INITIALIZE function is invoked until the first TERMINATE. 3.2.2 Drawing surface Graphical output through the CGI is to a con

45、ceptual drawing surface. Physical implementations of a drawing surface may vary, but the functional capability offered by the CGI to control the drawing surface shall be the same for any implementation. Drawing surfaces are classified as being either hard-copy or soft-copy, on the basis of the mediu

46、m that implements the display surface. A drawing surface that is hard-copy is implemented by means of a medium that has to be replaced for each new image. A soft-copy drawing surface is implemented by means of a medium that may be cleared for each new image. Examples of hard-copy drawing surfaces ar

47、e found in plotter media and film for projection displays. Examples of soft-copy drawing surfaces are found in storage cathode ray tubes, cursively or raster refreshed cathode ray tubes, and in liquid crystal cells. The PREPARE DRAWING SURFACE function is used to ensure that the Virtual Device is re

48、ady to accept graphics at the start of a page or frame. The END PAGE function ensures that all output is visible and, for a hard-copy device, advances the medium if it has been marked upon. This permits the CGI client to protect the page from being overwritten by the next client to use the device, w

49、hich is of particular value in a shared peripheral environment. In some environments, the display surface is subject to spontaneous change in size or shape, for example, in window-managed environments. Whether or not such spontaneous change in display surface size or shape can occur in a given implementation is indicated by an entry in the Output Device Description Table. If such spontaneous change in size or shape information can occur in a given implementation, the device coordinate and size
