Title
The use of FTAM to access graphical pictures across wide area networks
Abstract
The Esprit II Project ARGOSI has developed a new document type for FTAM that allows access to individual components of the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM—a standard format for the storage of two-dimensional pictures). This allows the access capability of FTAM to be used to transfer parts of a metafile (e.g. an indicidual picture) rather than the entire metafile. This is important in situations where network bandwidth is limited. The paper describes the design and implementation of this document type, and offers some conclusions on the general applicability of document types as a means of access to structured files within FTAM.
