Hello!

Currently we convert mi files to TIF for viewing in our company.
Now we need to switch to CGM File Format, but i can not find
a way to generate the CGM Files.
Environment is ME10 8.7 and HP-UX 10.20.

Is there anything like a
mi -> CGM
or
HPGL -> CGM
converter available.

The conversion process nedds to run unattended.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thanks, Werner

Hello Werner,

You could try using Image Magik and ralcgm to convert your tiff images to cgm format.

Here is the url's for both software sites.

http://www.imagemagick.org/

http://www.agocg.ac.uk/train/cgm/ralcgm.htm

They both work on Unix and have a command line interface so can be run in a background batch mode type of environment.

Cheers
Thom
