Full Description

General

The Computer Graphics Metafile provides a file format suitable for the storage and retrieval of picture information. The file format consists of a set of elements that can be used to describe pictures in a way that is compatible between systems of different architectures and devices of differing capabilities and design.

The APV profile, described in this part of ISO/IEC 12071, defines a subset of CGM elements, sets limits and generation and interpretation behaviour according to the rules for profile definition defined in ISO/IEC 8632. The APV profile provides a CGM version 3 profile suitable for advanced presentation and visualization, such as imaging, scientific visualization.

Position within the taxonomy

APV is one of four core profiles defined within the taxonomy for CGM profiles. These are shown in Figure 1 in diagramatic form. The diagram uses the following conceptual framework to define profiles:

  • CGM version — this is a part of the standard and describes the group of elements available to the profile
  • complexity of the problem

The four core profiles (as indicated in Figure 1) are:

Taxonomy identifier:Profile Name:
1FCG-11Basic Scientific and Technical graphics (BST) e.g. business presentation graphics, simple desk top publishing
2FCG-23Advanced Scientific and Technical graphics (AST) e.g. CAD, mapping, earth sciences
3FCG-32Basic Presentation and Visualization — the Model Profile from the CGM standard, e.g. graphics arts, high end desk top publishing
4FCG-33Advanced Presentation and Visualization (APV) e.g. imaging, scientific visualization.

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 1207 1 defines the APV profile.

User requirements and scenario

This part of ISO/IEC ISP 12071 provides a CGM version 3 profile, APV, suitable for advanced presentation and visualization, such as imaging, scientific visualization.
