The CGM format has been in use as far back as 1986 when it was first released. Unlike some image formats that handle two-dimensional positional image, or bitmap image alone, CGM supports both. Image files are saved as CGM when highly fine details are essential. Such applications include structure design images in aviation, engineering, and other similar technical fields. |
