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. |

File extension | .WMF |
Category | Image File |
Description | WMF is a vector graphics file format featuring bitmap components and running on 16-bit operating systems. Files comprise a set of function calls, which command vector graphic and bitmap operations, such as drawing lines and other graphic elements, as well as vector images and sometimes raster graphics. The format was introduced with Windows 2.0 in 1988 and is still backed by some Windows applications, such as Windows Photo Viewer. Right now, WMF is less widely used, as it has been pretty much supplanted by JPEG and GIF. |
