TGF File Extension

What is TGF file?

Full format name of files that use TGF extension is Trivial Graph Format. Files with TGF extension may be used by programs distributed for Linux, Mac OS, Windows platform. Files with TGF extension are categorized as Data Files files. The Data Files subset comprises 1326 various file formats. Users are advised to use Wolfram Research Mathematica software for managing TGF files, although 2 other programs can also handle this type of file.

Programs which support TGF file extension

The list that follows enumerates programs compatible with TGF files, divided into 3 categories based on operating system on which they are available. Files with TGF extension, just like any other file formats, can be found on any operating system. The files in question may be transferred to other devices, be it mobile or stationary, yet not all systems may be capable of properly handling such files.

How to open file with TGF extension?

There can be multiple causes why you have problems with opening TGF files on given system. Fortunately, most common problems with TGF files can be solved without in-depth IT knowledge, and most importantly, in a matter of minutes. The following is a list of guidelines that will help you identify and solve file-related problems.

Step 1. Download and install Wolfram Research Mathematica

Problems with opening and working with TGF files are most probably having to do with no proper software compatible with TGF files being present on your machine. The solution is straightforward, just download and install Wolfram Research Mathematica. Above you will find a complete listing of programs that support TGF files, classified according to system platforms for which they are available. If you want to download Wolfram Research Mathematica installer in the most secured manner, we suggest you visit website and download from their official repositories.

Step 2. Check the version of Wolfram Research Mathematica and update if needed

If you already have Wolfram Research Mathematica installed on your systems and TGF files are still not opened properly, check if you have the latest version of the software. Software developers may implement support for more modern file formats in updated versions of their products. This can be one of the causes why TGF files are not compatible with Wolfram Research Mathematica. The most recent version of Wolfram Research Mathematica is backward compatible and can handle file formats supported by older versions of the software.

Step 3. Set the default application to open TGF files to Wolfram Research Mathematica

If you have the latest version of Wolfram Research Mathematica installed and the problem persists, select it as the default program to be used to manage TGF on your device. The next step should pose no problems. The procedure is straightforward and largely system-independent

Change the default application in Windows

• Clicking the TGF with right mouse button will bring a menu from which you should select the Open with option
• Next, select the Choose another app option and then using More apps open the list of available applications
• Finally select Look for another app on this PC, point to the folder where Wolfram Research Mathematica is installed, check the Always use this app to open TGF files box and conform your selection by clicking OK button

Change the default application in Mac OS

• Right-click the TGF file and select Information
• Open the Open with section by clicking its name
• Select Wolfram Research Mathematica and click Change for all...
• A message window should appear informing that This change will be applied to all files with TGF extension. By clicking Continue you confirm your selection.

Step 4. Ensure that the TGF file is complete and free of errors

You closely followed the steps listed in points 1-3, but the problem is still present? You should check whether the file is a proper TGF file. It is probable that the file is corrupted and thus cannot be accessed.

1. The TGF may be infected with malware – make sure to scan it with an antivirus tool.

If the TGF is indeed infected, it is possible that the malware is blocking it from opening. Scan the TGF file as well as your computer for malware or viruses. TGF file is infected with malware? Follow the steps suggested by your antivirus software.

2. Ensure the file with TGF extension is complete and error-free

If you obtained the problematic TGF file from a third party, ask them to supply you with another copy. The file might have been copied erroneously and the data lost integrity, which precludes from accessing the file. When downloading the file with TGF extension from the internet an error may occurred resulting in incomplete file. Try downloading the file again.

3. Verify whether your account has administrative rights

Sometimes in order to access files user need to have administrative privileges. Log in using an administrative account and see If this solves the problem.

4. Check whether your system can handle Wolfram Research Mathematica

If the system is under havy load, it may not be able to handle the program that you use to open files with TGF extension. In this case close the other applications.

5. Verify that your operating system and drivers are up to date

Latest versions of programs and drivers may help you solve problems with Trivial Graph Format files and ensure security of your device and operating system. It is possible that one of the available system or driver updates may solve the problems with TGF files affecting older versions of given software.
