;Defines a trimmed surface. Encapsulates a surface (can be either a
;Bspline or a Bezier surface) and prescribes its trimming curves.
;There can be an arbitrary number of trimming curves (either Bezier
; or Bspline). Each trimming curve contains an arbitrary number of
;trimming curve segments, while each trimming curve segment contains
;a parameteric representation optionally followed by a Euclidean
;representation of the trimming curve segment.

Some notes: * This definition for the text file is designed to minimize the reading time and space. All information can be read without backward or forward referencing. * An OBJECT must never hold different geometry types or other entities. I.e. CURVEs, SURFACEs, and POLYGONs must all be in different OBJECTs. * Attributes should be ignored if not needed. The attribute list may have any length and is always terminated by a token that is NOT '['. This simplifies and disambiguates the parsing. * Comments may appear between '[OBJECT ...]' blocks, or immediately after OBJECT OBJNAME, and only there. A comment body can be anything not containing the '[' or the ']' tokens (signals start/end of block). Some of the comments in the above definition are illegal and appear there only of the sake of clarity. * It is preferred that geometric attributes such as NORNALs will be saved in the geometry structure level (POLYGON, CURVE or vertices) while graphical and others such as COLORs will be saved in the OBJECT level. * Objects may be contained in other objects to an arbitrary level. Here is an example that exercises most of the data format:
