Render CGM to FODS in C++ Applications
Convert CGM to FODS in native C++ applications without requiring Microsoft® Excel or Adobe® Acrobat Reader
Why to Convert CGM to FODS
The CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) format is a vector graphics format used to store and exchange graphics data. It is widely used in the engineering and technical drawing fields. However, the FODS (Flat Open Document Spreadsheet) format is a spreadsheet format used to store and exchange data in a tabular form. Therefore, it is necessary to convert CGM to FODS in order to use the data in a spreadsheet.

C++ API to Convert CGM to FODS
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Get or Set CGM File Information via C++
Aspose.PDF for C++ also allows you to get information about your CGM document and lets you take informed decisions before your conversion process. In order to get file specific information of a CGM file, you first need to call the get_Info() method of Document class. Once the DocumentInfo object is retrieved, you can get the values of the individual properties. Furthermore, you can also set the properties by using respective methods of DocumentInfo class.
Save FODS File Format to Stream via C++
Aspose.Cells for C++ allows saving FODS file format to stream. To save files to a stream, create a MemoryStream or FileStream object and save the file to that stream object by calling the IWorkbook object’s Save method. Specify the desired file format using the SaveFormat enumeration when calling the Save method.
