Re: [cgmopen-members] CGM Segments primitives

[Lofton Henderson <lofton@rockynet.com>]

Hi Franck,

Here is my own opinion on it:

1.) The relationship between segments and APSs is messy.  They are two 
different ways to divide the graphic, one (segments) for graphical 
efficiency and the other (APSs) for application structuring.

2.) They were not widely implemented at the time of defining the 
requirements of WebCGM -- one selection criterion for features was that 
they should be widely implemented and/or easily implementable.  This was 
decided for interoperability reasons.

Regards,
-Lofton.
