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. | |

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::Ok}{wxmetafileok} member. | |

47 | Plays the metafile into the given device context, returning | |
48 | true if successful. | |

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

78 | ||
79 | This is a type of device context that allows a metafile object to be | |
80 | created (Windows only), and has most of the characteristics of a normal | |
81 | \rtfsp{\bf wxDC}. The \helpref{wxMetafileDC::Close}{wxmetafiledcclose} member must be called after drawing into the | |
82 | device context, to return a metafile. The only purpose for this at | |
83 | present is to allow the metafile to be copied to the clipboard (see \helpref{wxMetafile}{wxmetafile}). | |
84 | ||
85 | Adding metafile capability to an application should be easy if you | |
86 | already write to a wxDC; simply pass the wxMetafileDC to your drawing | |
87 | function instead. You may wish to conditionally compile this code so it | |
88 | is not compiled under X (although no harm will result if you leave it | |
89 | in). | |
90 | ||
91 | Note that a metafile saved to disk is in standard Windows metafile format, | |
92 | and cannot be imported into most applications. To make it importable, | |
93 | call the function \helpref{::wxMakeMetafilePlaceable}{wxmakemetafileplaceable} after | |
94 | closing your disk-based metafile device context. | |

112 | ||
113 | \func{}{wxMetafileDC}{\param{const wxString\& }{filename = ""}} | |
114 | ||
115 | Constructor. If no filename is passed, the metafile is created | |
116 | in memory. | |

128 | This must be called after the device context is finished with. A | |
129 | metafile is returned, and ownership of it passes to the calling | |
130 | application (so it should be destroyed explicitly). | |
