<extFigure> | (external figure) (in a writing system declaration) refers to a figure or illustration depicting the character form, which is stored in some declared notation external to the text. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Attributes |
(In addition to global attributes)

Example |
An image of the character form may be stored and transmitted in any desired graphics format. The declaration of the notation may specify a local system identifier for the processor (here it is imagined that we use a program called ‘pddraw.exe’ to process files in TIFF format), thus: <!-- in the DTD: --> <!NOTATION TIFF SYSTEM 'pddraw.exe'> <!ENTITY lcthorn SYSTEM 'lcthorn.TIF' NDATA TIFF> <!-- in the WSD itself: --> <extFigure notation="TIFF" entity='lcthorn'/>More usually, a PUBLIC identifier is associated with the notation: <!-- in the DTD: --> <!NOTATION TIFF PUBLIC '-//XXX//NOTATION Tagged Image File Format//EN'> <!ENTITY lcthorn SYSTEM 'lcthorn.TIF' NDATA TIFF> <!-- in the WSD itself: --> <extFigure notation=TIFF entity='lcthorn'/> |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Example |
Character shapes may be conveniently conveyed in forms other than graphics images; one might, for example, define a character shape using a font-design program such as Donald Knuth's MetaFont program (which can be used to generate fonts for processing with TeX): <!-- in the DTD: --> <!NOTATION metafont PUBLIC '-//DEK//NOTATION MetaFont//EN'> <!ENTITY lcthorn SYSTEM 'lcthorn.TIF' NDATA metafont> <!-- in the WSD itself: --> <extFigure notation='metafont' entity='lcthorn'/> |
