Glossary

Minor issue: Fill these in. What glossary entries would it be useful to borrow from the ANSI
CL spec? | SWM

adaptive toolkit n. |Fill this in|

adopted adj. (of a sheet) Having a parent sheet.

affine transformation n. A transformation.

ancestors n. The parent of a sheet or an output record, and all of its ancestors, recursively.

applicable adj. (of a presentation translator) A presentation translator is said to be applicable
when the pointer is pointing to a presentation whose presentation type matches the current
input context, and the other criteria for translator matching have been met.

application frame n. 1. A program that interacts directly with a user to perform some specific
task. 2. A Lisp object that holds the information associated with such a program, including
the panes of the user interface and application state variables.

area n. A region that has dimensionality 2, that is, has area.

background n. The design that is used when erasing, that is, drawing using +background-ink+.

bounded design n. A design that is transparent everywhere beyond a certain distance from a
certain point. Drawing a bounded design has no effect on the drawing plane outside that
distance.

bounded region n. A region that contains at least one point and for which there exists a
number, d, called the region's diameter, such that if p1 and p2 are points in the region,
the distance between p1 and p2 is always less than or equal to d.

bounding rectangle n. 1. The smallest rectangle that surrounds a bounded region and con-
tains every point in the region, and may contain additional points as well. The sides of a
bounding rectangle are parallel to the coordinate axes. 2. A Lisp object that represents a
bounding rectangle.
