www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Authoring – Use of Color (1) • The Specification defines the use of color • Specific color palette • Provides very good examples of using color in illustrations and photographs • The use of color on the example illustration denotes a hierarchical structure • Light Blue – parts on this illustration • Grey – Parts shown on subsequent illustrations, see the detail arrows for navigation
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Authoring – Use of Color (2) 4.24.1
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Authoring – Use of Color in 3D Content • General Guidance: • The color of the 3D objects should adhere to the S1000D color palette • Projects should define a color scheme for the whole program • Projects should also define Devices, Viewers etc. capable of displaying data • Also, consider the capabilities of the technology • Use color consistently • The color Red should only be used for a Warning • Critical alerts • The color Amber should only be used for a Caution • I think this should have been yellow? • The color rules do not apply to realistically rendered surfaces • The specification encourages the use of a gradient color for the background • Critical information situations can be supported with symbols, markings, wording etc.
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Authoring – 3D • 3.9.2.5 – Interactive 3D Content
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Authoring – Interactive 3D Content • The Chapter provides basic guidelines for the use of 3D interactive graphics • The production of 3D content must be produced from verified and authoritative engineering information • 3D information usage is recommended where procedures are complex and users will benefit from the visualization • The 3D graphics must contain appropriate warning's and cautions when parts are removed • Currently there is no recommended file format for 3D delivery • There is no updated guidance in Issue 4.2 • Personal Comment - The project should seriously consider specifying a 3D file format – Project Business Rule
Identifying www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Identifying – S1000D Specification • Chapter 4.4 – Information Management – Information Control Number
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Identifying – Information Control Number • Data Modules are all assigned a unique code • Multimedia objects including illustrations require an ICN code • BRDP-S1-00345 - Presentation of ICN within the illustration reproduction area: • Decide whether the ICN is presented within the illustration reproduction area • If the decision is to display the ICN it must be placed in the lower right hand corner of the figure • A multimedia object or Illustration can be used in multiple Data Modules and keep the same code
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Identifying – ICN Decision Points - CAGE • What ICN Structure should I choose? (BRDP-S1-00344) • CAGE or MODELIC? • CAGE based, less complex – 5 to 10 Characters • This method will not identify the object with the Project or equipment
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Identifying – ICN Decision Points - MODELIC • MODELIC based code more complex • Aligned to the project and the equipment • Provides granularity
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 DEMO Example of S1000D Illustration
Managing www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – S1000D Specification • NEW - Chapter 3.9.2.7 – Illustration Rules – ICN metadata file
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – ICN Metadata File (IMF) • What is an IMF? • An XML file similar in structure to a Data Module • External but linked to an ICN object • You could call it an XML companion file • The mechanism for managing illustrations and multimedia objects in a CSDB • The CSDB will need to support the new file type • The IMF is linked to an illustration or multimedia object via the unique ICN code • The use of the IMF file appears to be optional • No Business Rule Decision Points in the Chapter • Caveat – This is not a new Data Module Document Type
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure • The file name is prefixed with IMF- and derived from the ICN • Overall structure very simple • ID and Status • Content
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure – ID & Status • The ID and Status section is very similar to a Data Module • The structure includes the Address and Status elements
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure – Address • The section includes the ICN enabling the linking to the graphic object • It also includes the ability to add keywords, • Included to the help searches in a CSDB
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure – Status • The Status section is mainly Boiler Plate content from the associated Data module/s
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure – Content • The Content section contains the <icnVariation> element and can have multiple instances • The initial attribute is the file type notation e.g. .cgm
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure – Object • The IMF file can also be used to contain hotspot information for the graphic • The CGM viewer will need to support the IMF XML file to benefit • In theory the viewer could also display the ID and Status information • Example: Attribute <icnObjectTitle> would be the tooltip • The <icnObect> attribute can contain hotspot coordinates for both 2D and 3D graphics
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure – Miscellaneous • The <icnObject> element • Provides the ability to specify a object hierarchy • The elements <internalRef> <dmRef> <catalogSeqNumberRef> • Provide the standard linking approach • Internal with the graphic, different viewpoint • Link to a Data Module • Link to a specific part in the IPD
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – IMF Structure – Miscellaneous • The <icnSourceFiles> • Provides the ability to reference material important in the creation of data • The <icnResourceFiles> • Provides the ability to reference additional material
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Managing – Code Structure • The IMF code structure is derived from the ICN • The only difference, the Prefix is IMF • In summary, the IMF can contain an extensive range of metadata IMF
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 DEMO XML Companion File (XCF) IMF file in Notepad++
www.cgmlarson.com Copyright Larson Software Technology (c) 2018 Summary • The specification has not changed substantially with respect illustration creation • Changes mainly cosmetic and more guidance on using legacy material • Additional guidance around the use of 3D data, especially color • Surprisingly no 3D file format specified • This could cause issues around interoperability • Also, display of 3D could be challenge as there will be a multitude of viewers • The introduction of the IMF will provide data management benefits • On the flip side it will add preparation overhead • No guidance from the specification if this is optional or a requirement • Will probably be a project decision if to adopt IMF
