12 This is a type of device context that allows a metafile object to be
13 created (Windows only), and has most of the characteristics of a normal
ba1d7a6c
FM
14 @b wxDC.
15 The wxMetafileDC::Close member must be called after drawing into the
23324ae1 16 device context, to return a metafile. The only purpose for this at
ba1d7a6c
FM
17 present is to allow the metafile to be copied to the clipboard
18 (see wxMetafile).

20 Adding metafile capability to an application should be easy if you
21 already write to a wxDC; simply pass the wxMetafileDC to your drawing
22 function instead. You may wish to conditionally compile this code so it
ba1d7a6c 23 is not compiled under X (although no harm will result if you leave it in).

25 Note that a metafile saved to disk is in standard Windows metafile format,
26 and cannot be imported into most applications. To make it importable,
ba1d7a6c
FM
27 call the function ::wxMakeMetafilePlaceable after closing your disk-based
28 metafile device context.

62 A @b wxMetafile represents the MS Windows metafile object, so metafile
63 operations have no effect in X. In wxWidgets, only sufficient functionality
64 has been provided for copying a graphic to the clipboard; this may be extended
ba1d7a6c
FM
65 in a future version.
66
67 Presently, the only way of creating a metafile is to use a wxMetafileDC.

142 Given a filename for an existing, valid metafile (as constructed using
c83e60aa
BP
143 wxMetafileDC) makes it into a placeable metafile by prepending a header
144 containing the given bounding box. The bounding box may be obtained from a
145 device context after drawing into it, using the functions wxDC::MinX(),
a055a116
BP
146 wxDC::MinY(), wxDC::MaxX() and wxDC::MaxY().
147
148 In addition to adding the placeable metafile header, this function adds the
149 equivalent of the following code to the start of the metafile data:
