General
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 BST profile, described in this part of ISOLIEC 12071, defines a subset of CGM elements, sets limits and generation and inte rpretation behaviour according to the rules for profile definition defined in ISO/IEC 8632. The BST profile defines a version 1 CGM suitable for use in basic scientific and technical graphics applications, such as business graphics, simple desktop publishing
