Based on this information, referring expressions can be generated that exploit information on relative location of the components of a complex object.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> This paper is organised as follows: In section 2, we describe how the content of a computer generated graphics is represented and propose an algorithm to compute a set of so-called characteristic component. The result of our algorithm can be applied to the generation of referring expressions, as described in section 3. In section 4, we discuss our results by comparing our algorithm with other reference algorithms. Section 5 gives a short summary and describes future work.</Paragraph>
