[comp.graphics] CGM

tad@cathedral.cerc.wvu.wvnet.edu (Tad Alan Davis) (03/23/90)

Could someone tell me what CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is and
where I can get some information about it?

All I know is that it is some kind of CALS standard.

I am in need of source for converting CGM files to VGA 640x480x256 raster
files.  Actually CGM to anything would be a good start.  I am also looking
for the iso (8632) or ansi (X3.122-1986) standards which define CGM.  Please
email (..!uunet!mcquaig!nmm) since I don't always have access to this group.
Thanks for the bandwidth.

Are there any filters available that will allow reading/writing
of cgm files, say like the fbm/ppm packages?

In general, I'm looking for code references.

thanks...
