STRUCTURED DOCUMENTS AND SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS FOR CREATING, PRODUCING AND DISPLAYING THREE DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS AND OTHER RELATED INFORMATION IN THOSE STRUCTURED DOCUMENTS
First Claim
1. A structured document stored in a computer readable medium, the structured document comprising:
- the vector and coordinate description of a representation of at least one three dimensional object; and
at least one of the following group of view attributes or features;
rotation, translation, view angle, lighting, colors, specific graphical representations, labels and parameters;
wherein the vector and coordinate description are stored with or independently from the one or more view attributes or features; and
wherein the vector and coordinate description and the one or more view attributes are stored in a single file which can be accessed and viewed by a structured document viewer.

Abstract
A structured document file which includes graphical and non graphical information. The graphical information includes the vector and coordinate description of a representation of at least one three dimensional object and at least one of the following group of view attributes or features: rotation, translation, view angle, lighting, colors, specific graphical representations, labels and parameters. The vector and coordinate description are stored with or independently from the one or more view attributes or features and the vector and coordinate description and the one or more view attributes are stored in a single file which can be accessed and viewed by a structured document viewer. Related authoring tools and viewers are also disclosed.

30. A computer implemented method of authoring an structured document file comprising the steps of:
-
creating a file which to store at least one three dimensional object and related non graphical information, the at least one three dimensional object defining a three dimensional rendering, and storing the at least one view in a structured document, the structured document comprising;
the vector and coordinate description of a representation of at least one three dimensional object; and
at least one of the following group of view attributes or features;
rotation, translation, view angle, lighting, colors, specific graphical representations, labels and parameters;
wherein the vector and coordinate description are stored independently from the one or more view attributes or features; and
wherein the vector and coordinate description and the one or more view attributes are stored in a single file which can be accessed and viewed by a structured document viewer. - View Dependent Claims (31)
