Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the Inter-
national Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide
standardization. National bodies that are members of IS0 or IEC participate in the
development of International Standards through technical committees established
by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
IS0 and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with
IS0 and IEC, also take part in the work.
In the field of information technology, IS0 and IEC have established a joint
technical committee, ISOLEC JTC 1. Draft International Standards adopted by the
joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication
as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national
bodies casting a vote.
Amendment 2 to International Standard ISO/IEC 8632- 1: 1992 was prepared by
Joint Technical Committee ISOfIEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 24, Computer graphics and image processing.

0 Introduction
Subclause 0.9 Versions, page xiii:
Change the 4th sentence to read:
“The following versions are currently defined: Version 1 (one); Version 2 (two); Version 3 (three);
Version 4 (four).”
Change Note 1 by adding a sentence before the 1st sentence:
“A valid Version 3 metafile is also a valid Version 4 metafile.”
Change Note 2 by adding a sentence after thejinal period:
“Version 4 metafiles are defined by ISO/IEC 8632:1992/Amd.2.”
1 Scope
Clause 1, Page 1:
Replace the 2nd sentence of the 1st paragraph to read:
“The file format consists of an ordered set of elements that may be used to describe pictures in a
way that is compatible between systems of different architectures, compatible with devices of
differing capabilities and design, and meaningful to application constituencies.”
Replace the 2nd sentence of the. 2ndparagraph to read:
“The elements are organized into groups that delimit major structures (metafiles, pictures, and
application structures), that specify the representations used within the metafile, that control the
display of the picture, that perform basic drawing actions, that control the attributes of the basic
drawing actions, that allow application-specific structuring to be overlaid on the graphic content,
and that provide access to non-standard device capabilities.”
Replace the 3rd paragraph with:
“The metafile is defined in such a way that, in addition to sequential access to the whole metafile,
random access to individual pictures and individual context-independent application structures is
well-defined. Applications which require random access to pictures and/or context-independent
application structures within pictures may, within the metafile, define directories to these pictures
and/or context-independent application structures. The metafile may then be opened and randomly
accessed without interpreting the entire metafile.”
3 Definitions
Subclause 3.1, page 9:
Add the following definition:
"3.1.105 application structure: A sequence of metafile elements delimited by the BEGIN
APPLICATION STRUCTURE and END APPLICATION STRUCTURE elements, containing

storage, and communication of graphical information together with related, application-specific
information in a device-independent manner.”
Change the 2nd element class in the 1st paragraph to read:
“- Metafile Descriptor Elements, which describe the functional content, default conditions,
identification, and characteristics of the CGM; and optionally, define a directory.”
Change the 3rd element class in the 1st paragraph to read:
“- Picture Descriptor Elements, which set the interpretation modes of attribute elements for each
picture and optionally, define a directory to the application structures contained in each picture.”
Replace the 9th element class in the 1st paragraph with:
“-Segment elements, which enable the grouping of graphic objects for graphical operations such as
copying.
-Application structure elements, which enable the grouping of elements for retrieval, electronic
linking, and other specific application-dependent operations.”
Add the following sentence afier the last sentence of the 4th paragraph:
“In Version 4 metafiles, graphical output primitives, attributes, control elements, and application
structure attributes may be grouped in application structures.”
4.2 Delimiter Elements
Subclause 4.2, page 11:
Change the 1st sentence of the 5th paragraph to read:
“In Version 2, Version 3, and Version 4 metafiles, primitives may be grouped together to form a

by line and filled-area elements occurring between BEGIN PROTECTION REGION and END
PROTECTION REGION.”
Change the 1st sentence of the 8thparagraph to read:
“In Version 3 and Version 4 metafiles, a tile array may be defined by tile elements occurring
between BEGIN TILE ARRAY and END TILE ARRAY.”
Add a new paragraph after the 10th (the last) paragraph as follows:
“In Version 4 metafiles, application structures consisting of groups of elements within picture
bodies, are delimited by BEGIN APPLICATION STRUCTURE and END APPLICATION
STRUCTURE. Between these delimiters the BEGIN APPLICATION STRUCTURE BODY
element separates the APPLICATION STRUCTURE ATTRIBUTE elements in the application
structure descriptor from the other elements contained in the application structure body.”
4.3 Metafile descriptor elements
Subclause 4.3, page 11:
Add the following element to the element list in the 1st paragraph:
“PICTURE DIRECTORY”
Add a new Subclause 4.3.2.7 Version 4 set, page 16:

BEGIN APPLICATION STRUCTURE BODY
END APPLICATION STRUCTURE
APPLICATION STRUCTURE ATTRIBUTE”
Add a new Subclause 4.3.5 Picture directory, page 21:
“4.3.5 Picture directory
The PICTURE DIRECTORY element contains locations of the pictures in a metafile. The picture
directory contains a list of picture identifiers and their locations relative to the BEGIN METAFILE
element. The picture directory may optionally contain the location of the APPLICATION
STRUCTURE DIRECTORY element in each picture relative to the BEGIN METAFILE element.

appear within the picture body.”
Add a new Subclause 4.4 .I 0 Application structure directory, page 25.
“4.4.10 Application structure directory
The APPLICATION STRUCTURE DIRECTORY element contains the locations of the various
application structures in a picture. The application structure directory contains a list of application
structure identifiers and their locations relative to the BEGIN PICTURE element. APSs within a

Subclause 4.11, page 110:
Replace Note 2 at the bottom of the page with the following:
“2. These entries define the lowest metafile version for which this state is defined. Therefore “~1” indicates the
state is defined for Version 1 metafiles (hence also for Version 2, Version 3, and all higher version
metafiles); “~2” indicates that the state is defined for Version 2 metafiles (hence also for Version 3 and all
higher version metafile@; “vn” indicates that the state is defined for Version n metafiles (hence also for any
higher version metafiles).”
Subclause 4.11,page Ill:
Change the 2nd sentence of Note 7 to read:
“For example, COLOUR TABLE is not allowed in the picture body in Version 1 metafiles, but it is

4.13.1 Introduction
Application structures (APS), which provide access to metafiles for applications such as
text/graphics integration at levels of granularity finer than the picture level, may be defined in
Version 4 metafiles. An APS is defined within a picture body as follows:
BEGIN APPLICATION STRUCTURE
APPLICATION STRUCTURE ATTRIBUTE
.(Arbitrary number of application structure attributes)
BEGIN APPLICATION STRUCTURE BODY
.(Graphic primitives, attributes, and control elements in any order)
END APPLICATION STRUCTURE
The BEGIN APPLICATION STRUCTURE element has three parameters which define the t
