  NAPLPS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NAPLPS (North American Presentation Level Protocol Syntax) is a graphics language for use originally with videotex services.
In the 1980s NAPLPS' basic geometry and command structure became the basis for the library-based GKS microcomputer standard, which was later implemented in Digital Research's GSX graphics system and later used in their GEM GUI.
Some videotex fans claim that NAPLPS was used as the basis for the SVG standard for vector graphics on the Web.

As with all to many standards written by governments or more than one company, the original simplicity of NAPLPS was drowned in a huge document describing many issues that could safely be ignored.
Various systems using NAPLPS appeared in the early 1980s, but it soon became clear that there was no way to make money on a read-only service (a fact many in the web discovered again 20 years later).
More recently NAPLPS was used as the basis for the SVG standard for vector graphics on the web, proving that all that is old is new again.

 NAPLPS: Summary from the Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Although not strictly a file format, NAPLPS is likely to become the basis of one, because it is in wide use in a rapidly growing segment of the computer communications industry.
NAPLPS is used by a number of Videotex services, is supported by special NAPLPS terminals, and is used by Prodigy, a well-known commercial online service.
NAPLPS is formally defined in standards documents available for purchase from the International Standards Organization (ISO), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

 Virtual Reality Warriors: Native American Culture in Cyberspace
Hughes' whimsical eloquence sugarcoats the technobabble needed to explain that NAPLPS (North American Presentation Level Protocol Syntax) is a form of computer code that can wrap pictures and words together in extraordinarily small digital packets to be transmitted by telephone to computer screens on the other end of the world or down the block.
NAPLPS is as simple and ingenious a next step as smoke signals and the tom tom.
Using NAPLPS and telecommunications to extend the reach of their ancient stories and images wasn't much of a leap at all for people accustomed to hearing their grandparents' voices when they look up at the stars.

NAPLPS is a graphics protocol meant to be used over point-to-point links like modems and is designed to be efficient enough to be useable at 2400 bps.
A NAPLPS image is transmitted in a manner that is independent of the resolution and color capabilities of the receiving display.
NAPLPS is a protocol to be used at level 6 which is the presentation layer.

 Protocol converting apparatus for videotex system - Patent 4739402
The PDI is based on the NAPLPS which is the videotex system used in the North America and used to describe the pattern by using geometrical elements and coordinate points.
The NAPLPS system uses an alphanumeric as the character and the pattern is fundamentally expressed by using the afore-mentioned PDI and according to the "geometric system" shown in FIG.
In the NAPLPS system, the transmission rate of the down-link is selected as 1200 bits/second and the transmission rate of the up-link is 150 bits/second.

NAPLPS (North American Presentation Layer Protocol Syntax) is used to transmit device-independent vector and raster graphics.
Due to their spatial and color coordinate schemes, these graphics, sometimes referred to as "frames", are executable by virtually any device.
Required parameters: version identification For example: image/naplps; version=1983 Optional parameters: none Encoding considerations: As NAPLPS is based on an extensible "character set" scheme which includes completely interchangeable 7-bit and 8-bit options, NAPLPS graphics may contain data in either 7-bit or 8-bit format.

 Wired 1.02: The Cursor Cowboy
Based partially on the enthusiasm that some bulletin board operators are at last showing for NAPLPS, Hughes is confident that the standard will gain widespread acceptance in 1993.
Mike Liebhold, a senior scientist in media architecture research at Apple Computer, endorses Hughes's notion that low-cost software is essential to provide schools, libraries, and communities with access to telecommunications services, but he considers NAPLPS too dated to accommodate the video and sound uses of telecommunications that he believes are coming soon.
NAPLPS, on the other hand, works on virtually all computers in use today.

The articles presented a large amount of detail about how NAPLPS works and how it may be used; the series of articles continued in the March, April, and May 1983 issues of BYTE.
NAPLPS, pronounced like "nap-lips", fits in at approximately level 6 of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) reference model, but it bears only slight resemblance to the ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation 1) and BER (Basic Encoding Rules) that constitute the official OSI level 6.
NAPLPS defines a methodology of representing graphics primitives within a 7- or 8-bit code set built around the model of ASCII.

In my opinion, a major handicap for NAPLPS was that for a long time the only equipment available for encoding the images was a special computer sold in the United States only by AT&T, costing tens of thousands of dollars.
I suppose that somebody could adapt NAPLPS as an alternate to ASN.1/BER for certain applications, but the effort to make it mesh with the other OSI layers would be nontrivial.
I was not aware that Prodigy is using NAPLPS.

SVG and NAPLPS (ANSI X3.110) from Jim Fleming on 1999-03-07 (www-svg@w3.org from March 1999)
Is SVG designed such that a lower level NAPLPS (ANSI X3.110) engine can be used to do the rendering ?
Since NAPLPS has a compact binary encoding form, a thin-client on a low bandwidth connection might be able to handle the rendering while another upstream machine handles the SVG to NAPLPS conversion.
