J


Jamo
An individual phonetic glyph in the Korean script that is transformed and combined into clusters called Hangul.

Java runtime environment
The Java virtual machine and the associated software required to load and execute Java code

Java runtime session
An instantiation of the Java runtime environment (that is, an instantiation of the Java virtual machine and associated software). In JManager a Java runtime session is called a JMSessionRef object

job collection
A collection of items that are relevant for a print job but not required to define a print job
See also: collection

job dialog box
A dialog box"usually displayed by an application in response to the user choosing the Print command"that solicits printing information from the user, such as the number of copies to print, the print quality, and the range of pages to print.

job format mode
A mode of printing, either graphics (the QuickDraw GX default), text-only, or PostScript-only. The text and PostScript modes are sometimes called direct-mode printing; used to trade off the ability to redirect output to another printer for faster output on a specific printer.

job object
An object that represents the parameters associated with printing, such as the printer and page range. These parameters specify a 'print job.'

join
See: join property

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)
Refers to an international standard for compressing still images. This standard supplies the algorithm for image compression. The version of JPEG supplied with QuickTime complies with the baseline International Standards Organization (ISO) standard bitstream, version 9R9. This algorithm is best suited for use with natural images.

join attributes
A set of flags that modify the way QuickDraw GX adds a join shape to the corners of a shape.

join property
A property of a style object that specifies how the corners of a geometric shape should be drawn.

join shape
A shape drawn at the corners of another shape.

jumping caret
See: single caret

jump table
In 68K-based runtime architectures, a table that contains one entry for every externally referenced routine in an application or MPW tool and provides the means by which segments are loaded and unloaded.

jump table entry
A single entry in a jump table.

justification
A type of alignment that involves the spreading or compressing of printed text to fit into a given line width so that it is flush on both left and right edges of the text area (destination rectangle).

justification gap
The difference in the length of a line before and after justification.

justification priority
The priority order in which classes of glyphs are processed during justification.
