The Cgm Handbook

Rating:
Summary: A must have for CGM software developers
Review: If you're trying to make sense of the CGM standard this book is a must have. It is completely thorough, covering every detail of the standard in depth. I've looked at other similar references and none are as complete. The explanations, such as the complicated details of the character encoding, are explained in a straigtforward and easy-to-read style with sufficient diagrams and examples. Told me everything I needed to know to finish my project. Highly recommended for anyone writing software to directly encode or decode CGM files. For technical people only, not a "for dummies" book.
