CGM Option

Formatter CGM Option works with Formatter and processes CGM images.

Until XSL Formatter V4.2, rendering CGM was done by using plug-ins such as IsoView / IsoView WebCGM, Larson VizEx CGM Viewer. In this case, CGM is rasterlized and embeded into PDF as raster image. Formatter CGM Option enables Formatter to process CGM image natively and embed CGM as vector images in PDFs without degradation.

If you use CGM Option, no plug-in for CGM is needed and CGM can be used in all platform versions of Formatter.

The following is the CGM formatting result displayed in the Formatter GUI. You can print it directly form the GUI, or you can output formatting results into PDF.
