ISO/IEC 8632:1992, Part 1, p.50, 1st para.

 

10

Nature of defect (complete, concise explanation of the perceived problem):

We believe that in the description for GDP "the first point is the first point of the point list; and the last point is the last point of the point list" is wrong. Consider, for example, a GDP which is a variation on CIRCULAR ARC CENTRE. The point list might be a single point, the centre, which is not part of the drawn line primitive.

 

11

Solution proposed by the submitter (optional):

Change the wording to indicate "the first point and last point are as defined

in the GDP registration and associated documentation."

Editor's response (any material proposed for processing as a technical corrigendum to, an amendment to, or a commentary on the International Standard or DIS final text is attached separately to this completed report):

Amend the standard as proposed above.
