- Lotus Magellan 2.0 Metafile Viewer Alpha
- ----------------------------------------
-
- The file Metafile.Vw2 is a working, first version of the CGM Metafile
- Viewer [Alpha .1]. It should be crash-proof but right now it only views a few
- aspects of the .CGM format.
-
- You will be able to see:
-
- a) All text strings properly sized and positioned
- b) All polygons
- c) All polylines
-
- You will not see:
-
- a) Colors
- b) Polygon Fills
- c) Ellipses
- d) Variable Line Widths
- e) Variable Interior Fill Hatch Styles
-
- However, for the most part you can view the contents of .CGM Metafiles
- (detection for now is based solely upon the .CGM extension), which is the
- purpose of a viewer.
-
- There will be many future iterations of this viewer, and one by one,
- more functionality will be added giving it a look more like the original image.
- This is another one of those HUGE viewers! Right now it is 33K and it will grow
- as more things are added. Final refinement features like "PRESSING ANY
- KEY" to stop drawing, as in the other graphical viewers, are not in yet, but
- this will come in later versions.
-
- Please let us know if you find any files that give this viewer problems,
- and your suggestions for which aspects of viewer improvement should be done
- first and are most important overall.
-
- Thanks,
