File Type Reference

AG

Anyware shares the same Applixware file formats.

This chapter describes the generic ASCII file format of all Version 4.3, 4.4 and 5.0 Applixware documents and the Applixware Graphics internal file format.

The following topics are described:

· tokens

· syntax

· file format

· future considerations

Tokens

The Applixware Graphics file format is an ASCII, token-based format, with a maximum line length of 255 characters. The six different token classes are:

COMMENT: COMMENTs begin with the character '#' and continue to the end of the line. COMMENTs are bound to the object which follows or contains them. COMMENTs can be found anywhere in the document, and should not interfere with document parsing.

BASE: BASE tokens consist of a sequence of characters, starting with an letter from A to Z. Case is ignored, with material converted to uppercase before parsing. Valid characters are letters from A to Z, numbers, '*', '-', or '_'. Other characters will terminate the token.

STRING: STRINGS are typically delimited by '"'. a '\' is used as an escape character, and characters outside the range of 32 to 126 will be escaped and their ASCII code will be used instead (7BIT encoding only). '"' characters are escaped, as are newlines and '\' (\", \n, and \\ respectively). Strings that exceed one line in length are "wrapped" by inserting a newline and a space in the character stream. These 2 characters should be ignored while parsing. Case is preserved for STRING tokens.

NUMBER: NUMBER tokens are a sequence of digits, optionally preceded by a '+' or a '-'. A non-digit or a non-decimal terminates the number. Only one decimal is allowed per number.

META: A META token is like a BASE token, whose value is defined by the Applixware file format beyond the context of the Graphics file format. META tokens begin with a '*' and are expected to be located after a newline (or at the start of the file).

RASTER: RASTER data has a width and height, specified in pixels. It also has a depth. Depth 1 images use the default colormap and have 1 bit per pixel. Color images must have a colormap, and have 8 bits per pixel. RASTER material is encoded in HEX (4 bits per character) or BIT6 (6 bits per character) format, and may be compressed (run-length or LZW). RASTER tokens are unique in that all the information regarding the RASTER must be parsed before the RASTER itself may be parsed.

The Applixware RASTER is organized in a very traditional manner. Each horizontal "scanline" of an image is composed of an even number of 8-bit bytes running from left to right. The MSB of each byte is displayed to the left of its LSB. A sequence of scanlines, running from its top to its bottom form the complete image. Each scanline is represented by a string of ASCII characters. The ASCII string represents a series of bytes. Newline characters are ignored, but due to mail and buffering constraints should be used to break the data into manageable lines. After any newline is inserted, a space character should also be inserted. This space will also be ignored while parsing the RASTER. Each scanline must be terminated with a '.' (period). If a scanline is terminated early with a '.', then the rest of the scanline is assumed to contain zeros. If the scanline presents more data than can fit in a scanline (it's width), then the excess data is ignored. As a result, here should be height periods in the RASTER.

RASTER material is compressed before it is encoded and written into the file. The compression formats are NONE, RUN-LENGTH, or LZW. If the compression is NONE, the data is encoded in it's raw format. RUN-LENGTH encoding uses the following standard technique:

A byte N is read.
If it is positive (sign bit clear) then
N + 1 following bytes are read and assembled directly into the scanline.
else if it is negative (sign bit set) then
the next byte is read and replicated 1 - N times into the scanline.

RASTER encoding takes two forms: HEX or BIT6. HEX encoding represents RASTER data bytes as pairs of ASCII hex characters (0123456789ABCDEF). Using HEX encoding, an uncompressed 512 x 512 raster uses approximately 65535 hexadecimal characters. BIT6 encoding stores 6 bits of the RASTER data in each character. It uses the ASCII characters '0' through 'o'. Using BIT6 encoding, the same 512 x 512 RASTER uses approximately 43691 characters. The following demonstrate the encoding and decoding process:

write_byte_hex(datum)

int datum;

{

char outchar;

/* Finish the scanline */

if ( datum < 0 ) {

fputc('.', outfile);

return;

}

/* High Nibble */

outchar = (datum >> 4) & 0xF;

if (9 < outchar)

outchar += 7;

fputc('0' + outchar, outfile);

/* Low Nibble */

outchar = datum & 0xF;

if ( 9 < outchar )

outchar += 7;

fputc('0' + outchar, outfile);

}

write_byte_bit6 (datum)

int datum;

{

static char bits_used = 0;

static char outchar = 0;

/* Finish the scanline */

if ( datum < 0 ) {

if (bits_used) {

fputc('0' + outchar, outfile);

outchar = bits_used = 0;

}

fputc('.', outfile);

return;

}

/* Complete last character */

bits_used += 2;

outchar |= (datum >> bits_used) & 0x3F;

fputc('0' + outchar, outfile);

outchar = 0;

/* Form next character */

outchar = datum << 6 - bits_used) & 0x3F;

if ( bits_used == 6 ) {

fputc('0' + outchar, outfile);

outchar = bits_used = 0;

}

sixbit_to_byte()

{

static char bits_used, inchar;

char result;

int ch;

do {

ch = fgetc(infile);

} while ((ch == ' ') || (ch == '\n'));

if (ch == '.') {

bits_used = 0;

return (-1);

}

ch = (ch - '0') & 0x3F;

switch (bits_used) {

case 0:

inchar = ch << 2;

do {

ch = fgetc(infile);

} while ((ch == ' ') || (ch == '\n'));

ch = (ch - '0') & 0x3F;

inchar |= ch >> 4;

result = inchar;

inchar = ch << 4;

bits_used = 4;

break;

case 2:

inchar |= ch;

result = inchar;

inchar = ch << 8;

bits_used = 0;

break;

case 4:

inchar |= ch >> 2;

result = inchar;

inchar = ch << 6;

bits_used = 2;

break;

}

return (result & 0xFF);

}

Only the above sequences are valid for generating tokens. All other character sequences are ignored, and are treated as delimiters. Common delimiters are ' ', '(', ')', and','.

Syntax

The following conventions are used in this document:

KEYWORD - (terminal token)
expression - (non-terminal)
a | b - indicates the value can be either a or b
[] - material enclosed in brackets is optional
... - an elipses indicates repetition of the current pattern

NOTE: Order is important for graphic_material

NOTE: A Graphics_file should contain a picture_segment even if
nothing is drawn in it!

Future Considerations

All graphic segments begin with a TOKEN and end with an END TOKEN. Readers of Graphics files should be prepared to scan ahead to the matching END TOKEN if a segment TOKEN is expected but an unknown TOKEN is found instead.

All TOKENS contained within a <> pair should be read as a block. If the number of TOKENS within the block exceeds the amount expected, excess material should be discarded. Likewise, if there is an underflow, some default value should be assigned or the entire TOKEN should be ignord.

All new BASE TOKENS will be bound to an argument TOKEN. If while reading TOKENS from within a segment an unknown BASE TOKEN is encountered, the next TOKEN in the stream should be discarded with parsing resuming at the following TOKEN.
