	Computer graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer graphics (CG) is the field of visual computing, where one utilizes computers both to generate visual images synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and spatial information sampled from the real world.
		The first major advance in computer graphics was the development of the Sketchpad in 1962 by Ivan Sutherland.
		However, all the "computer graphic" effects in that film were hand-drawn animation, and the special effects sequences were produced entirely with conventional optical and model effects.

	Computer Graphics Metafile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is a file format for 2D vector graphics, raster graphics, and text.
		All graphical elements can be specified in a textual source file that can be compiled into a binary or one of two text representations.
		CGM provides a means of graphics data interchange for computer representation of 2D graphical information independent from any particular application, system, platform, or device.

	The Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM)
		The Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is the International Standard for storage and exchange of 2D graphical data.
		CGM was one of the standards chosen by the US Department of Defence for their major CALS open documentation initiative.
		CGM is also being discussed by W3C as a standard for graphics on the WWW.

	CGM, Graphcap, and Fontcap Supplement
		A metafile translator is a program module that will decode the generic device-independent instructions in a metafile and convert them to the device-specific commands for driving a given graphics output device.
		This is to be contrasted with an "audit trail" metafile (such as the one described in Annex E of the GKS standard), which is a transcription of a graphics session.
		Graphics mode is the state where graphics instructions are received and understood; text mode is used for normal communications and editing.

		Graphics metafile is maintained at a central facility for a decentralized system that employs graphics devices of different makes and models that must utilize the data.
		Graphics metafile is required to preserve picture data when conversion or migration from one graphics system to another is necessary and the two systems are not necessarily compatible.
		Graphics metafile is intended for information interchange between a source system and a target system that are not necessarily compatible.

	WebCGM Profile
		CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) has been an ISO standard for vector and composite vector/raster picture definition since 1987.
		CGM has a significant following in technical illustration, interactive electronic documentation, geophysical data visualization, amongst other application areas and is widely used in the fields of automotive engineering, aeronatics, and the defence industry.

	Computer Graphics Metafiles (GKSM and CGM)
		A graphics metafile is a computer file containing a set of data records describing a graphical image.
		The Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) has been produced by a separate standards group within ISO and, when implementations become available, it will be an alternative to the Appendix E metafile for the storage and transmission of complete pictures.
		One should note that because CGM is an independent standard compatible with GKS, it is expected to become adopted as the picture interchange format used between all graphics standards.

	BITD - Computer Graphics Metafile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A contributory factor to this is that all graphics have been stored, and therefore transmitted, as image files, which are inefficient for graphics that were originally line drawings, such as most CAD output, maps, organizational diagrams and the like.
		CGM - the Computer Graphics Metafile (ISO/IEC 8632:1992 version 1) - is the international standard format for the storage and exchange of 2D graphics, and is widely supported by packages that use 2D graphics.

		It is used to determine, insofar as practical, the degree to which a CGM interpreter implementation conforms to the CGM standard (ISO 8632) and the ATA CGM profile, ATA Specification 2100 Graphics Exchange.
		The testing of a particular CGM interpreter implementation is accomplished by interpreting each CGM and using the corresponding operator script and GIF representation to determine if the rendered picture is correct.
		The CGM Test Suite is now provided in an interactive format to view all components of the test suite in multiple windows on your personal computer.

	Metafile Graphics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Metafile graphics are simply 2D graphics that are made up of both vector and bitmap.
		If you're a sub-editor or a desk top publishing user, you would want to be able to rescale or stretch graphics to fill the space you have, whilst retaining resolution, rather than to create one again from scratch.
		CGM graphics have many applications because the image size is independent of file size which means that you can enlarge the size of the original graphic without increasing the file size.

		Although GKS has no native file format, the CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) format is often closely associated with its use.
		But because of the kludged evolution of the PCX format (caused partly by the efforts of Zsoft to continue to support the ever-changing world of graphics display adapters) it is generally advised that the MS Windows BMP format be used in place of PCX whenever possible.

	bin/60944: "file" identifies text files as "character Computer Graphics Metafile"
		This occurs if the the file begins with the character `0' (hex 30) in byte 0 of the file, followed by a space (hex 20) in byte 1, which satisfies the magic number test 0 beshort 0x3020 character Computer Graphics Metafile in /usr/share/misc/magic.
		Fix: Since ascii data files beginning with a `0' are common, this magic number test is risky and probably inappropriate, and should probably be removed from /usr/share/misc/magic.
		Of course, this will disable "file" from identifying a "character Computer Graphics Metafile".
