Does RenderX support CGM file formats? Earlier the support for the same is not there. Are there any workarounds to achieve the same?

After few trails we came across a tool called JCGM which generated FO which can be used as in input for RenderX. But the following issue happens while trying it out.

[error] Failed to create image file:/D:/test.cgm of type null [error] com.renderx.graphics.ImageFormatException: com.renderx.util.Magic$UnknownMIMETypeException: cannot determine mime type for file 'file:/D:/test.cgm'

FO file has following lines:

<fo:block id="page.1460112090007da8004b69a" line-height="0"/>
<fo:block keep-together="always" start-indent="0pt">
<fo:external-graphic src="test.cgm"/>
<fo:block padding-top="0pt" padding-bottom="10pt" font-size="10pt" text-align="center" font-style="italic">Figure 1  </fo:block>

FO->XEP fails with above error and after generating XEP->PDF, drawing won’t be seen in PDF.

We are using xep-debug.jar for RenderX. Since, RenderX cannot support CGM graphics format, we are using jcgm-core-0.2.0.jar and jcgm-image-0.1.1.jar for CGM reading/rendering support. Is there any other way to include plugin jars, so that RenderX can use them to render CGM drawings?

Any pointers will be greatly helpful.

    If this is commercial software, why not ask them? http://renderx.com/ – halfer Jun 16 '12 at 14:21
  • I did post the query over there as well. But thought of asking it to the larger audience. Kindly advise. – Ajai Gopal Jun 18 '12 at 06:43
  • Ah. Just so you know, it is standard practice on the internet to declare [cross-posting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting), to avoid duplication of effort. (As to the question, I've no idea - just trying to direct to to the correct forum). – halfer Jun 18 '12 at 09:22
  • Actually even I don't want the precious effort to be wasted twice in two different places as you mentioned, Since I haven't heard from the post in RenderX. At least some references/pointers will help me move ahead. Hence posted. Kindly request you to help me find some directions. – Ajai Gopal Jun 19 '12 at 08:05
