No decode delegate for this image format 'CGM'

Post by Lantik »

Hi there!
I need to convert file from CGM to PNG format and ImageMagic is the only free way I found and I installed it, using NuGet.

I know that I need to install RALCGM to read CGM files and I downloaded it from this site http://xd.chem.buffalo.edu/download.html
But even after installation it throws tha same mistake "no decode delegate for this image format"
I searched a lot and found out, that I need to add RALCGM to some PATH, but I have no idea how to do it.

I would be greatful if anybody told me how to install RALCGM properly to convert cgm files from Visual Studio.

Here is full text of Exception:

Code: Select all

ImageMagick.MagickMissingDelegateErrorException: no decode delegate for this image format `CGM' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/512

If you want to use ralcgm you will need to load your own delegates.xml (https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET/ ... ization.md). But I have no idea what you will need to put in the delegates.xml file to get it working.
.NET + ImageMagick = Magick.NET https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET, @MagickNET, Donate
