RE: [cgmo-webcgm] Summary of day 1

["Bezaire, Benoit" <bbezaire@ptc.com>]

Hi,

Here are my thoughts on the summary:

Font interchange:
-what is currently available in WebCGM 2.0 (font properties)? 
-what is the current practice of authoring tools and viewers?

Text search:
-if the user only cares about the 'content' attribute, then yes
something similar to the sample would work; if not, i.e., if the user
wants to extract strings from a restricted text element; then a new API
is needed.

Compression of CGM files:
-there should be a way of determining from the header if the file is
compressed or not, is this sufficient?

Multi-picture metafiles:
-PTC is not in favor of bringing back multi-picture CGM.

Benoit.
