/**
    @class wxMetafileDC

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

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

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

    has been provided for copying a graphic to the clipboard; this may be extended
    in a future version. Presently, the only way of creating a metafile

/**
    Given a filename for an existing, valid metafile (as constructed using
    wxMetafileDC) makes it into a placeable metafile by prepending a header
    containing the given bounding box. The bounding box may be obtained from a
    device context after drawing into it, using the functions wxDC::MinX(),
    wxDC::MinY(), wxDC::MaxX() and wxDC::MaxY().

    In addition to adding the placeable metafile header, this function adds the
    equivalent of the following code to the start of the metafile data:

    @code
    SetMapMode(dc, MM_ANISOTROPIC);
    SetWindowOrg(dc, minX, minY);
    SetWindowExt(dc, maxX - minX, maxY - minY);
    @endcode

    This simulates the wxMM_TEXT mapping mode, which wxWidgets assumes.

    Placeable metafiles may be imported by many Windows applications, and can
    be used in RTF (Rich Text Format) files.

    @a scale allows the specification of scale for the metafile.

    This function is only available under Windows.
