4.0 out of 5 stars
One and probably only summary of CGI and CGM,
By ThomasH (Santa Clara, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CGM and CGI: Metafile and Interface Standards for Computer Graphics (Symbolic Computation Computer Graphics-Systems and Applications) (Hardcover)
Computer Graphics Interface (CGI) and Computer Graphics Metadata (CGM) were invented a while ago, take it: a long while ago!. But much of the industrial large graphical databases still use these protocols as their base of information. If you work with such data, e.g. for NC production, this book contains the most valuable information for the practice. These days CGI means mostly "Computer Generated Imaging" or another use in networks: Common Gateway Interface. This CGI in this book might be mostly a thing of a past, replaced by DirectX or OpenGL, but CGM still lives, foremost in the very much actively used WebCGM. WebCGM 2.1 was approved in year 2008. The web page of the consortium is cgmopen org. Take this book if you need information about the primary CGM standard for compatibility and proper interpretation. Aside of this contextual aspect, Arnold and Bono are good writers and explain well the spirit of both standards.
