Convert CGM to jpg

[cuicui6669]

Hi,

I want to use ImageMagick to convert *.cgm files to *.jpg .

My operating system is windows XP 32bit.

I have already installed ImageMagick 6.6.8 (downloaded from ImageMagick.org http://www.imagemagick.org/script/downl ... 0u01299vq6)

To convert those files, i follow this link http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php. So, I have installed ralCGM 3.50 module (downloaded from ImageMagick.org http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/)

I set the install directory of ralcgm.exe to my environement variable "PATH"
I also set the directory of ./ralcgm/data/ to a new environnement variable "CGMDATA"

So, i try this:
-

Code: Select all

convert C:\temp\sources\detail.cgm C:\temp\output\detail.jpg

Code: Select all

Magick: delegate failed `ralcgm -d ps "%i." "%o." "%u."' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1058.

That's the result:
Magick: `%s' (%d) "gswin32c.exe" -q -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOPROMPT -dMaxBitmap=500000000 -dEPSCrop -dAlignTo

Following this link: http://www.wizards-toolkit.org/discours ... =1&t=15989
I try this:

Code: Select all

ralcgm -d ps -oC  C:\temp\sources\detail.cgm C:\temp\output\detail.ps

That's the result:

Code: Select all

RAL CGM Interpreter Version 3.50

***FATAL ERROR: CGMibin [146] Wrong Version number

So ralcgm make the "detail.ps" file but it's corrupted...
I try this anyway:

Code: Select all

convert C:\temp\output\detail.ps C:\temp\output\detail.jpg

The result:

I try the same with

Edit delegates.xml and change the CGM delegate to

<delegate decode="cgm" thread-support="False" command="ralcgm -d ps "%i." "%o." "%u.""/>

It doesn't work anyway .......

Can you help me please? Do you have a link which explain me how use ImageMagick to convert CGM files?

[fmw42]

did you reinstall IM after installing the cgm delegate?

[cuicui6669]

Hi fmw42,

Thanks to try to help me

I did your advise.
So:
- I uninstall IM
- I install ralCGM
- I install IM (6.6.8 - Q16)

I get a new error:

Code: Select all

The delegate ralCGM failed... How can I repair this problem please?

[magick]

Is ralcgm in your execution path. From the DOS Command Prompt window, does it return an exception if you just type 'ralcgm' on the command line?

[cuicui6669]

Hi Magick ,

Yes, ralcgm is in my execution path: i set my "PATH" environnement variable on C:\ralCGM\ralCGM.exe
So, If I just type ralCGM on the command line, it doesn 't return an error... but nothing arrived...

Code: Select all

C:\>ralcgm


RAL CGM Interpreter Version 3.50

or

Code: Select all

C:\temp>ralcgm


RAL CGM Interpreter Version 3.50

Here is my PATH:

Code: Select all

C:\>PATH
PATH=C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.8-Q16;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
 Server\100\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\Micr
osoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ralcgm

[magick]

We downloaded ImageMagick 6.6.8-6 (the latest release), installed ralcgm, associated c:\Program Files\ralcgm with the PATH environment variable, verified ralcgm ran from the command line, and finally converted ImageMagick-6.6.8-6\PerlMagick\t\input.cgm to PNG (added -verbose to the command line for debugging). The conversion completed without complaint. We are unsure why the CGM conversion fails for you.

[cuicui6669]

Hi Magick,

I re-try your process... Can you confirm me if thess following links are good please?

link for ralCGM:
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/del ... _setup.zip from this page http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/

So I just have to install to this directory :

c:\program files\ralcgm

and I set the environment variable

PATH=c:\program files\ralcgm

link for IM:
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/bin ... indows.zip from this page:http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binar ... hp#windows
So I Just have to copy to a directory

C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.8-8

and I set the environment variable

PATH=c:\program files\ImageMagick-6.6.8-8

That's my PATH:

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program File
s\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v1.0\;c
:\python26;c:\program files\ralcgm;C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.8-8;

that's my command:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.8-8>convert -verbose c:\temp\sources\detail.cgm c:\temp\output\detail.png

here is the result:

ARRRRrrrrggggggg

[magick]

Do you have Ghostscript installed and available from the command line? The ralcgm delegates produces Postscript and Ghostscript is required to interpret the Postscript image file.

[cuicui6669]

I haven't Ghostscript installed.

So i get the installer from this following link:
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/gpl901.htm
And get this file: http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/g ... 901w32.exe

I install it to this directory:

C:\Program Files\Ghostscript

I set my environment path to

PATH=C:\Program Files\Ghostscript\gs9.01\bin

in order to point to "gswin32.exe"

I try this:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.6.8-Q16>convert.exe -verbose c:\temp\sources\m_ps_276451_04_aam0_01_04.cgm  c:\temp\output\toto.png

That's the result:

The file "toto.png" is created but the render is not good...
I try with different cgm files... but it's the same.

I found another problem: I want to open directly a CGM file with IM, and it doesn't work. I have this error:

IMDisplayDoc function [DoReadImage] reported an error.
Magick: delegate failed `ralcgm -d ps "%i." "%o." "%u."' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1058.

Is this error can help us to find a solution to my problem?
