Computer
Graphics Metafile (CGM) is a file format for 2D vector
graphics, raster graphics, and text and is very popular in the
industry in the technical illustration and documentation.
The CGM Thumbnail Generator is an extension
to the Canto Cumulus Workgroup or Enterprise Client 7.5 or higher
based on the Canto EJaP (Embedded Java Plugins) technology.
It creates thumbnails of preview size (max 1024 x 1024 pixel)
for assets of type CGM (Suffix '.cgm').
The following software is needed to convert the .cgm files
into the JPEG format: CGM to Image, from Larson
Software Technology, Inc. You can find more information about
the software and a tryout version on the Larson web site at
www.cgmlarson.com.
The single user version of the software must be installed on
the Cumulus Client (or a network license must be available)
to allow the conversion of the files from CGM format to JPEG.
The Larson software converts the .cgm files into JPEG representations
and the JPEG images will be imported as thumbnails into the
Cumulus Catalog. As the thumbnail size is fully configurable
up to 1024x1024 pixels, the thumbnails can also be used as a
preview of the files in the catalog.
In the preferences of the CGM Thumbnail Generator application
you can specify attributes to set the size and quality of the
generated JPEG thumbnails.
