This standard specifies a language-independent nucleus of a graphics system, known as GKS-3D, which provides a comprehensive suite of functions for creating and manipulating three-dimensional graphics. The key components include: GKS-3D Functions: A set of functions enabling the generation of 3D pictures on output devices, including capabilities for storage and retrieval from external graphics files. resconstructural.com Data Structures: Definitions of data structures used within GKS-3D to represent graphical elements and attributes. NSAI Standards Store Metafile Structure: Specifications for the structure of metafiles, allowing for the storage and transfer of graphical data. Interfaces and Implementation Variations: Guidelines for interfacing GKS-3D with programming languages and allowable differences in implementations to accommodate various system architectures.
