The Computer Graphics Metafile provides a file format suitable for the storage and retrieval of picture information. The file format consists of a set of elements that can be used to describe pictures in a way that is compatible between systems of different architectures and devices of differing capabilities and design.
The Model Profile, described in this part of ISO/IEC 1207 1, defines a subset of CGM elements, sets limits and generation and interpretation behaviour according to the rules for profile definition defined in ISO/IEC 8632. The Model Profile defines a version 3 CGM suitable for use in basic presentation and visualization, such as graphics arts, high end desktop publishing.
