The GDDM Base programs provide utilities for converting files from one
format to another. These include:
- ADMUGIF, which converts a GDDM ADMGDF (graphics data format) file to a
Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file in the VM/CMS and MVS/TSO
environments. The GIF file can be downloaded to a workstation and
then used on the Internet.
- ADMUCG, which converts a Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) to a GDDM
ADMGDF (graphics data format) file in the VM/CMS and MVS/TSO
environments. ADMGDF files contain GDF orders, whose format is
published in the GDDM Base Application Programming Reference book.
- ADMUGC, which converts an ADMGDF file to CGM format in the VM/CMS and
MVS/TSO environments. GDDM supports binary encoding of the CGM, as
defined in ISO 8632-3.
- ADMUPCx, which converts files from ADMGDF format to Picture
Interchange Format (PIF), and from PIF to ADMGDF, in the VM/CMS and
MVS/TSO environments.
These utilities enable graphics data to be exchanged between GDDM and
other applications.
