I am interested in this work so visited their web page. I wanted to
see a list of file formats they discussed in the book but the web
page did not seem to have such a list.

I find that people define what a "graphic file" is. To some it is just
the image formats (tif, gif, png, etc). To others it is vector
formats such as dxf and wmf and to others it is 3d formats such as
dxf(again), obj, 3ds, openinventor etc.  So I wanted to see how these
authored used the term.

Anybody able to answer this?

Thanks,
Alan
