importing CGM graphics

Post by cvhasselt »

Hello,

Is it possible to directly import CGM graphics files in my Latex document?

I have loads of high quality figures of this extension I want to use in my document.
Converting to PNG is an option, but in my situation it would be better if I could use CGM directly.
I am using MikTex 2.7 and latex-->pdf.

Thanks in advance,

Coen

Hi Coen,

welcome to the LaTeX Community Board!
Yo cannot include CGM files directly. With conversion to PNG I expect quality loss (vector graphics format to raster format). I recommend to convert to pdf format, pdflatex can include pdf graphics.
