cgm2ncgm/ncgm2cgm
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.
Synopsis

Options
- -s output block size
- Set block size in bytes for reads/writes of vanilla CGM. The

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.
