Describes a language independent nucleus of a graphics system. For integration into a programming language, GKS-3D is embedded in a language dependent layer obeying the conventions of that language. This part of ISO 8806 provides such a language dependent layer for the C language.

The Graphical Kernel System for Three Dimensions (GKS-3D), ISO8805 : 1988 , specifies a language independent nucleus of a graphics system. For integration into a programming language, GKS-3D is embedded in a language dependent layer obeying the particular conventions of that language. This part of ISO/IEC8806 specifies such a language dependent layer for the C language.
