I am looking for information on file formats from Graphics,
CAD & Desk Top Publishing tools as well as data compression
techniques. I have heard of the following:
TIFF - Tag Image File Format
IGES - Initial Graphics Exchange Standard
ISIF - Intergraph Standard Interchange Format
CGM - Computer Graphics Metafile
CCITT Compression
DXF - ?
I have the Microsoft Spec and HP the HP guide to TIFF;
also a spec for IGES from the June '87 issue of Byte.
Sources, even FTP sites would be appreciated.
Which are the most widely used today?
I am gathering information on current file formats
which will be compared and then used <hopefully>
to write specs for conversion routines.
Thank you,
Scott Youmans
