Would that not be best? Yes, it would. There is a logical progression of semantic content: 1) User selected x=345 y=174 2) User selected this spline curve 3) User selected part of this group of graphical objects 4) User selected the manifold coolant release valve At each stage, one can do more with the resulting information. Since CGM was mentioned earlier, level 4 CGM includes application structures which were designed to hold precisely this sort of information, plus URLs, links to other pictures in the same file, and so on. To drag the topic back towards relevance for one of the lists ;-) it would also be possible using undefined bundle tables in the CGM for a style sheet to influence the color of objects in a CGM embedded in an HTML page using CSS. -- Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 (0)4 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
