File extension | .CGM |
Category | CAD File |
Description | CGM is good for storing vector/bitmap (raster) data, mostly alternately. Contrary to a common false opinion, it is not intended for transmitting CAM/CAD data. Files can be built in CAD and other programs, and it is convenient to use them for exchanging CAM/CAD renderings. CGM was designed to ensure easy exchange of elements of both types, and it uses 3 encoding schemes: character-based, ensuring minimal file size and easy data sharing; binary, providing easy access via software utilities; clear-text encoding, enabling users to edit files by aid of text editing utilities. |

Category | Image File |
Description | JPG is the file format for images made by digital cameras and spread throughout the world wide web. Saving in JPG format an image loses its quality, because of the size compression. But at the end you have a much smaller file easy to archive, send, and publish in the web. These are the cases when an image's size matters more than image's quality. Nonetheless, by using professional software you can select the compression degree and so affect the image's quality. |
