This library reads CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) in binary and clear text format. Read graphics can be modified, analyzed and exported. Creating new graphics is also supported. It implements the ISO/IEC 8632-3:1999 and ISO/IEC 8632-4:1999 specification.

Some additional functions for reading technical documentation items (Figures, Names) etc are also implemented.

Install

Add the NuGet package codessentials.CGM to any project supporting .NET Standard 2.0 or higher.

> dotnet add package codessentials.CGM

Usage

Write new CGM files

var writer = new CgmWriter(FileFormat.Binary);
writer.SetDescription("Created By UnitTest");
writer.SetElementList("DRAWINGPLUS");
writer.SetFontList(new[] { "Arial", "Arial Bold" });
writer.SetCharacterSetList(new[] { new KeyValuePair<CharacterSetList.Type, string>(CharacterSetList.Type._94_CHAR_G_SET, "B"), new KeyValuePair<CharacterSetList.Type, string>(CharacterSetList.Type._96_CHAR_G_SET, "A"), new KeyValuePair<CharacterSetList.Type, string>(CharacterSetList.Type.COMPLETE_CODE, "I"), new KeyValuePair<CharacterSetList.Type, string>(CharacterSetList.Type.COMPLETE_CODE, "L") });
writer.SetVDCType(VDCType.Type.Real);
// add several "drawing" commands
writer.AddCommand(...)

//
writer.Finish();

var data = writer.GetContent();

Read & write binary CGM

var cgm = new BinaryCgmFile("corvette.cgm");

// modify graphic

cgm.WriteFile();

Convert binary to clear text format

var binaryFile = new BinaryCgmFile("corvette.cgm");

var cleanTextFile = new ClearTextCgmFile(binaryFile);
var content = cleanTextFile.GetContent();
