ISO/IEC 9636-4:1991 情報技術—コンピューターグラフィックス—グラフィカルデバイス（CGI）との対話のためのインターフェース技術—機能仕様—パート4：セグメント | ページ 2

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO 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. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC 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.

International Standard ISO/IEC 9636-4 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology.

ISO/IEC 9636 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Computer graphics — Interfacing techniques for dialogues with graphical devices (CGI) — Functional specification:

• Part 1: Overview, profiles, and conformance
• Part 2: Control
• Part 3: Output
• Part 4: Segments
• Part 5: Input and echoing
• Part 6: Raster

Annexes A and B form an integral part of this part of ISO/IEC 9636. Annexes C and D are for information only.
