The Computer Graphics Metafile provides a file format suitable for the storage and retrieval of picture information. The file format consists of a set of elements that can be used to describe pictures in a way that is compatible between systems of different architectures and devices of differing capabilities and design.
The AST profile, described in this part of ISOLIEC 12071, defines a subset of CGM elements, sets limits and generation and interpretation behaviour according to the rules for profile definition defined in ISO/IEC 8632. The AST profile defines a version 2 CGM suitable for use in advanced scientific and technical graphics, for example CAD, mapping, earth sciences.
