What is a CG4 file?

CG4 files mostly belong to CG4 Editor. CG4 files come in two main types based on how the data is stored.
For many systems, a CG4 file is a CALS raster image file. This means it holds a static image using a computer graphics metafile standard often linked with CALS Type 1 and Intergraph methods. It is used in technical documents and high-quality image storage.
Another type uses the TIFF format to encode 3D model data. In these cases, the CG4 file organizes model geometry and details in a structure also called a computer graphics metafile format. Specialized software like the CG4 Editor can open these files. For more on this variant, visit CG4 Editor website.
