• Controlling Character Size

CGM

The CGM driver is based upon the LUT-CGM Toolkit from Loughborough University of Technology, Loughborough, Leicestershire, England.

• Encoding:
  This driver produces CGM plotfiles in either Character Encoding (ISO 8632-2) or Binary Encoding (ISO 8632-3) formats. By default, Binary Encoding will be used since this is by far the most popular encoding. The required encoding may be specified by setting the resource CGM.Encoding to Binary or Character.
• Background Colour:
  

  The colour of the picture background may be controlled by means of a resource. CGM.Background may take the value BLACK or WHITE. The default is WHITE.

• Picture Content:
  Setting the resource CGM.StripBorder to true will cause the picture to be saved without the surrounding border.

Controlling Character Size

It is possible to scale the size of the characters and marker symbols in a CGM plotfile using these resources:

Resource Name Default

CGM.FontSizeScale 1.0

CGM.SmallFontSizeScale 1.0

CGM.SymbolScale 1.0
