[comp.graphics] Graphics Formats

woody@tybalt.caltech.edu (William Edward Woody) (01/14/90)

I was wondering if someone out there could give me good pointers to
documents which discuss the format of TIFF files, GIF files, the IGES
CAD file format, and other interesting image and CAD file formats which
are commonly used.

I wish to write a computer program for the Macintosh which (amongst
other things) knows and can convert image files between the various
common image file formats that are used out there.  Another thing that
I want to write is a package (for work) that is capable of parsing IGES
and other common CAD file formats.

I only need adequate pointers to documentation, not complete discussions.

However, if you can send me a complete discussion, that would be greatly
appreciated as well.

Please send responces directly to me.
