    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of ISO/IEC 8632 specifies a binary encoding of the Computer Graphics Metafile. For each of the

    elements specified in ISO/IEC 8632-1, this part specifies an encoding in terms of data types.

    For each of these data types, an explicit representation in terms of bits, octets and words is specified. For some

    data types, the exact representation is a function of the precisions being used in the metafile, as recorded in the

    Metafile Descriptor.

    This encoding of the Computer Graphics Metafile will, in many circumstances, minimize the effort required to

    generate and interpret the metafile.
