CgmInfo

CgmInfo is a fully managed CGM Metafile library based on the ISO/IEC 8632:1999 standard intended for extraction of various informations encoded in either binary or text (as described by Part 3 and 4 of ISO/IEC 8632, respectively). It's licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3 or later (GPLv3+).

Requirements

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (Community Edition or higher to build)
  • Workloads for .NET desktop development and .NET Core cross-platform development
  • NuGet to build CgmInfoGui, which is a GUI tool to display Metafile information

Technical Details

Projects

  • CgmInfo: The main library, targetting .NET Standard 2.0. Entry point is MetafileReader in the CgmInfo Namespace which attempts to determine on whether to read the file as binary or text.
  • CgmInfoCmd: A CLI application printing a semi-spammy overview of the Metafile, targetting .NET 6.0. Mostly included for testing and reference only.
  • CgmInfoGui: A GUI application written in WPF to present a view on various aspects of the metafile, such as its metafile structure, its application structure and other uses such as hotspot information or XML Companion file creation.

Components

CgmInfo is fully written in C# and should work on all platforms that implement at least .NET Standard 2.0; with the CLI application CgmInfoCmd requiring .NET 6.0 or later. However, the GUI application CgmInfoGui is written using WPF and uses various third party libraries to provide a functional user interface, which will most likely be limited to run on Windows.
