CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile)

CGM is a machine and Operating System independent interchange format that provides elements to represent geometric graphics (e.g., polygons or circles) and raster graphics (e.g., pixel arrays). It consists of a functional specification and multiple encodings for different purposes. There are three standardized encodings for CGM, clear-text, character and binary. Clear-text is human-readable. Character encoding is more compact, but still uses ASCII characters, so that it can be interchanged without Protocol problems. The binary encoding is more compact still, and quick to encode and decode, but completely unreadable.
