Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) is an open, platform-independent metafile format used for storing and exchanging two-dimensional graphics. It supports RGB color. CGM files can contain both vector graphics and bitmaps, but they usually contain one graphic type or the other — rarely both.

|

| Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) technical notes | |
• |
You can import files formatted in CGM versions 1, 3, and 4.
|
• |
The CGM filter accepts only markers supported by the CGM file format standard.
Private-use markers are ignored.
|
• |
If the CGM file contains a font that is not on your computer, the PANOSE font-
matching dialog box lets you replace the font with an available one.
