3 | A {\bf wxMetafile} represents the MS Windows metafile object, so metafile | |
4 | operations have no effect in X. In wxWidgets, only sufficient functionality | |
5 | has been provided for copying a graphic to the clipboard; this may be extended | |
6 | in a future version. Presently, the only way of creating a metafile | |
7 | is to use a wxMetafileDC. | |

25 | \func{}{wxMetafile}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename = ""}} | |
26 | ||
27 | Constructor. If a filename is given, the Windows disk metafile is | |
28 | read in. Check whether this was performed successfully by | |
29 | using the \helpref{wxMetafile:IsOk}{wxmetafileisok} member. | |

45 | ||
46 | \func{bool}{Play}{\param{wxDC *}{dc}} | |
47 | ||
48 | Plays the metafile into the given device context, returning | |
49 | true if successful. | |

52 | ||
53 | \func{bool}{SetClipboard}{\param{int}{ width = 0}, \param{int}{ height = 0}} | |
54 | ||
55 | Passes the metafile data to the clipboard. The metafile can no longer be | |
56 | used for anything, but the wxMetafile object must still be destroyed by | |
57 | the application. | |
58 | ||
59 | Below is a example of metafile, metafile device context and clipboard use | |
60 | from the {\tt hello.cpp} example. Note the way the metafile dimensions | |
61 | are passed to the clipboard, making use of the device context's ability | |
62 | to keep track of the maximum extent of drawing commands. | |
63 | ||
64 | \begin{verbatim} | |
65 | wxMetafileDC dc; | |
66 | if (dc.Ok()) | |
67 | { | |
68 | Draw(dc, false); | |
69 | wxMetafile *mf = dc.Close(); | |
70 | if (mf) | |
71 | { | |
72 | bool success = mf->SetClipboard((int)(dc.MaxX() + 10), (int)(dc.MaxY() + 10)); | |
73 | delete mf; | |
74 | } | |
75 | } | |
76 | \end{verbatim} | |

79 | ||
80 | This is a type of device context that allows a metafile object to be | |
81 | created (Windows only), and has most of the characteristics of a normal | |
82 | \rtfsp{\bf wxDC}. The \helpref{wxMetafileDC::Close}{wxmetafiledcclose} member must be called after drawing into the | |
83 | device context, to return a metafile. The only purpose for this at | |
84 | present is to allow the metafile to be copied to the clipboard (see \helpref{wxMetafile}{wxmetafile}). | |
85 | ||
86 | Adding metafile capability to an application should be easy if you | |
87 | already write to a wxDC; simply pass the wxMetafileDC to your drawing | |
88 | function instead. You may wish to conditionally compile this code so it | |
89 | is not compiled under X (although no harm will result if you leave it | |
90 | in). | |
91 | ||
92 | Note that a metafile saved to disk is in standard Windows metafile format, | |
93 | and cannot be imported into most applications. To make it importable, | |
94 | call the function \helpref{::wxMakeMetafilePlaceable}{wxmakemetafileplaceable} after | |
95 | closing your disk-based metafile device context. | |

113 | ||
114 | \func{}{wxMetafileDC}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename = ""}} | |
115 | ||
116 | Constructor. If no filename is passed, the metafile is created | |
117 | in memory. | |

126 | ||
127 | \func{wxMetafile *}{Close}{\void} | |
128 | ||
129 | This must be called after the device context is finished with. A | |
130 | metafile is returned, and ownership of it passes to the calling | |
131 | application (so it should be destroyed explicitly). | |
