NAME
cgm2ncgm ncgm2cgm - filter NCAR CGM to/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.
