.NET API to Convert CGM to ODP
- Open CGM file using Document class
- Convert CGM to PPTX by using Save method
- Load PPTX file by using Presentation class
- Save the document to ODP format using
Save
method and set
Odp
as SaveFormat
Conversion Requirements
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total
or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total
.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
Document document = new Document("input.cgm"); | |
document.Save("PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx); | |
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx"); | |
presentation.Save("output.ppt", SaveFormat.Ppt); |
Get XMP Metadata from CGM File via .NET
While converting CGM to ODP, you might need extra XMP metadata information to prioritize your batch conversion process. For example you can get and sort your conversion documents based on creation date and process the documents accordingly. Aspose.PDF for .NET allows you to access a CGM file’s XMP metadata. To get a CGM file’s metadata, you can create a Document object and open the input CGM file. After that, you can get the file’s metadata using the Metadata property.
Document document = new Document("Decrypt.cgm", "password"); | |
document.Decrypt(); | |
document.Save("Decrypt_out.doc"); |
Create Read Only ODP File via .NET
By using Aspose.Slides for .NET API, you can further enhance the features of your conversion application. One of the feature can be to create your output file read only to increase security. The API allows you to set your ODP file to Read-Only, which means users (after they open the presentation) see the Read-Only recommendation.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("PptxOutput.pptx");
// make ODP read only
presentation.ProtectionManager.ReadOnlyRecommended = true;
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Odp
presentation.Save("output.odp", SaveFormat.Odp);
Transforming CGM File to ODP Programmatically : Use Cases
**CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) files are used to store vector graphics information, making them ideal for creating static graphics and illustrations. However, when working with dynamic data, formats like OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) become essential for presentations and visualizations.
The conversion of CGM files into ODP formats is necessary to unlock the full potential of your presentation and visualization capabilities. This conversion enables you to:
Use Cases:
- Presentation Design: Convert CGM files to create interactive presentations, slideshows, and animations in ODP format.
- Vector Graphics Rendering: Use ODP to render vector graphics, diagrams, and illustrations with precise control over formatting and layout.
- Data-Driven Presentations: Convert CGM files to create data-driven presentations, including charts, graphs, and infographics, in ODP format.
- Collaboration and Sharing: Use ODP to collaborate with others on presentations, share designs, and track changes in real-time.
- Professional Publishing: Convert CGM files to create professional-looking publications, brochures, and magazines in ODP format.
