.CGM Bestandsextensie

CGM files are encoded using one of three different methods:

1. Binary encoding - Standard file encoding that enables software programs to read the file quickly and efficiently.
2. Character-based encoding - Produces the smallest possible file size, which saves disk space and allows for faster data transfers.
3. Clear-text encoding - Allows users to read and understand the contents of the file and modify the file using a basic text editor.
