MEM to CGM Conversion
What are MEM files?
MEM is the file extension of a digital elevation model of Japan produced by the Geographical Survey Institute of Japan, now the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI), the national mapping agency. A file of this type covers a part of the country with a regular net of points, and each point holds the height of the ground above the Japanese vertical reference, which is based on the mean sea level of Tokyo Bay. The data were derived from the topographic maps of the Institute, and the older series came with grid spacings such as 50 meters. Coordinates are given in latitude and longitude on the Tokyo datum, the national system that was in use before the switch to modern satellite-based systems. Such files are used for terrain analysis, mapping, and visualization of Japan.
What are CGM files?
CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) is a format that contains vector graphics information (clip art, drawings) associated with graphics design or CAD programs. As opposed to other types of metafiles, such as EMF or WMF, CGM files are not only supported by Windows, but can be used on different platforms too. They are encoded using binary, character-based of clear-text encoding.
