Data types used in specifications
The following table lists the data types used for the specifications in this appendix.
Type Definition
byte unsigned 8-bit integer
short unsigned 16-bit integer
long signed 32-bit integer
unsigned long unsigned 32-bit integer
metric signed 32-bit, fixed point; the first 16 bits represent the digits preceding the decimal, the last 16 bits
represent the digits following the decimal
string string of characters beginning and ending with a null character; the string is preceded by a short integer
that specifies the length of the string (including the null characters that bracket the string)
point 2 metrics interpreted as the position of the point in x and y coordinates
rectangle 4 metrics interpreted as the position of the rectangle in x and y coordinates and the size of the rectangle
in width and height
All integer values are stored in big endian order.
The x and y coordinates are relative to the rectangle bounding the vector graphics. The origin of the
coordinate system is the upper left corner of this rectangle.
For the specifications of angles, positive values are measured clockwise from 0° (the x-axis), and negative
values are measured counterclockwise.
Specifications of definition op codes
This section describes each definition op code. Op codes are listed by number and description. The op code
number is shown in parentheses.
