I am looking for references on the ANSI standard "CGM" (Computer
Graphics Markup or something), which is the only ANSI standard for
computer graphics. The only manual I've been able to find is the
actual ANSI reference manuals on it, and I'll be damned if I'm
going to sit through all 28 lbs or so of them to get a brief
overview...
I am also interested in finding out more about how the word
processing system XYVision spits out CGM files.
Any info pointing to sources for CGM reference manuals or quick
reference jobbies would be muchly appreciated. Please
Email to:
