33、3 Present at i on level 3.3.1 General principles 3.3.1.1 enhancements for the presentation level of the international Videotex service. 3.3.1.2 i.e. text consisting of symbols, phrases or sentences in natural or artificial languages, pictures, diagrams and tables. This subclause provides a set of de

34、finitions and specifies a set of functional capabilities and possible The definitions provided, and functional capabilities specified in this subclause apply to text in its broad sense; 3.3.1.3 Each functional capability is individually specified independent of what implementation techniques or codi

35、ng schemes are used by the terminal equipment. Specification of the repertoires and coding is the subject of Recommendations T.lOO and T.lO1. 3.3.2 Structure of display 3.3.2.1 Defined display area The rectangular part of the screen that can be used by the Videotex service. Its structure may be rede

36、fined. (See Figure 1 .) 3.3.2.2 Border area The part of the screen which is outside the defined display area. (See Figure 1 .) TO1 031 5093dOl FIGURE UF.300 8 Recommendation F.300 (03/93) I 3.3.23 Character location structure 1 The defined display area is made up of an array of contiguous character

37、locations in which each character location is the area needed for the display of one character in normal size including any space required to separate alphanumeric characters. In this structure each graphic element is displayed in one or more character locations on the defined display area. 3.3.2.4

38、Cartesian coordinate structure Graphic elements are defined within a two-dimensional space using either normalized or absolute coordinates. Rectangular defined display areas map into the square coordinate space. Normalized coordinates use a Cartesian O to 1 (non inclusive) numbering scheme. As an ex

39、ample, in the case of a television screen with a 4 : 3 aspect ratio, the defined display area corresponds to O to 1 (non inclusive) in the X axis and O to approximately 0.75 in the Y axis. The drawing of graphic elements into the entire normalized coordinate space may he permissible but only the ins

40、cribed 4 : 3 area will be visible. An absolute coordinate system may, for example, use a CCIR-defined siandard for digitized television signals of 540 pixels horizontally and 480 pixels vertically within the defined display area. 3.3.2.5 Active drawing area An active drawing area is an area within t

41、he defined display area within which graphic elements are to be displayed. The definition of an active drawing area cancels any previous active drawing area, but has no effect on graphic elements already Ming displayed. 3.3.2.6 Scrolling area A scrolling area is an area smaller than or equal to the

42、defined display area, within which the characters and associated atmbutes move in specified increments under the action of format effectors (whether explicit or implied) or specific controls. The procedure for scrolling is defined by two processes: 1) the designation of the screen area inside which

43、a scroll operation is to be executed, 2) the execution of the scrolling action. Scrolling occurs in a direction perpendicular to the character path or logical pel path and far enough to bring the next intended character location or the location of the next logical pel just into the scrolling area. 3

44、.3.2.7 Input field This function specifies an input field to be used as a user area on the display screen. An input field may be provided to accept user input fiom the terminal keyboard and to support editing by the user. Any number of input fields may be defined. An input field is preinitialized wi

45、th graphic characters inviting the user to input data. These input request characters may be represented by one or several dots but their display depends on the various implementations depending on a profile of the communication. 3.3.2.8 Marked characters Characters may be marked for further action

46、at the terminal, such as transfer to an output device. More than one type of marking may exist and each may be separately processed. Recommendation F.300 (03/93) 9 3.3.2.9 Protectedlunprotected area Areas within the defined display area can be protected against alteration, manipulation or erasure. T

47、he protection is valid for attributes as well as characters. Protected areas can only be altered by the use of an unprotected function or by the action of clearing the screen. 3.3.2.10 Multi-plane configuration A multi-plane configuration can be defined through multi-plane control commands which inc

48、lude addressing, priority relationship and attribute. For example, a character plane on a photographic plane configuration offers scrolling characters on a steady photographic picture, or a photographic plane on another photographic plane configuration offers simple animation. 3.3.3 Graphic elements

49、 Graphic elements are used to disphy text, including symbols, or pictures. They are categorized below. Applicable to each of the following categories is a set of display attributes and control functions. Attributes and control functions for each category are specified in 3.3.5, 3.3.6, 3.3.7 and 3.3.8, for the international Videotex service. Those attributes and control functions which are commonly applicable to all categories of graphic elements are defined in 3.3.4. 3.3.3.1 Alphanumeric characters 3.3.3.1.1 Alphanumeric characters are those graphic elements pertaining to
