NAME¶
ncgm2cgm - filter NCAR CGM to vanilla CGM cgm2ncgm - filter NCAR CGM from
vanilla CGM
SYNOPSIS¶
ncgm2cgm [
-s output block size ]
[
-V ]
cgm2ncgm [
-s input block size ]
[
-V ]
DESCRIPTION¶
ncgm2cgm and
cgm2ncgm are filters for converting back and forth
between
NCAR Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) and vanilla CGM.
ncgm2cgm strips the wrapper from NCAR CGM records while cgm2ncgm
restores it. I/O is done from standard in/out respectively.
OPTIONS¶
- -s size
- Set block size in bytes for reads/writes of vanilla CGM. The default
blocking factor is 1024.
- -V
- Print the version number and then exit.

BUGS¶
Some
vanilla metafile interpretors take advantage of shortcuts provided
by their CGM generators. In effect, they are not
true CGM interpretors.
Although it will still be possible to convert these metafiles to NCAR format
that may be interpreted by NCAR Graphics translators. It may not be the case
that the aforementioned interpreters will be able to translate
true
vanilla metafiles, such as produced by
ncgm2cgm.
