Format of a conversion profile

GDDM V3R2 Base Application Programming Reference
SC33-0868-02
The conversion profile is a free-format file which consists of:
  • Lines containing specified key-words followed by their parameters
  • Continuation lines (where the previous line contained an incomplete keyword/parameter sequence).
  • Comment lines (those starting with a "*").
The contents of a conversion profile can be in mixed, lower, or upper case, and leading blanks are not significant. Keywords are followed by their parameters, and they are terminated by a semicolon. Any text following the semicolon until the end of the line is treated as a comment. An example is given in Figure 20 in topic 13.4.

The information specified in the conversion profile is of two types:
  • Picture mapping information, which specifies how fonts, lines, patterns, and so on, are mapped during conversion.
  • Picture adjustment factors, which define various adjustments necessary to allow for differences in CGM files from different sources.
