NAME

6       cgm2ncgm ncgm2cgm - filter NCAR CGM to/from vanilla CGM

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       ncgm2cgm and cgm2ncgm are filters for converting back and forth between
15       NCAR Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) and vanilla CGM.  ncgm2cgm strips
16       the  wrapper  from  NCAR CGM records while cgm2ncgm restores it. I/O is
17       done from standard in/out respectively.

OPTIONS

20       -s size
21              Set block size in bytes for reads/writes  of  vanilla  CGM.  The
22              default blocking factor is 1024.
23
24       -V     Print the version number and then exit.

BUGS

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