Format for Information Transfer

Each object consist of one or several primitives. These primitives must not intersect. If they do, it will cause unnecessary interference, erroneous visualization and unnecessarily increased process time.

Each Object File will contain a number of lines with a variable number of characters, maximized to 80. Each line starts with a keyword. Some of the keywords are followed by a comma and a parameter, belonging to the keyword. The line ends with a semicolon. The order of keywords are highly relevant.

Blanks are allowed between terms, parameters and separators but irrelevant, except within string parameters.

Parameters can be of three types: strings of characters, integers or reals. Strings must be surrounded by apostrophes. Reals can be with or without exponent but must be readable by FORTRAN and C programs.
