Enhanced Metafiles
An enhanced metafile is an array of records. A metafile record is a variable-length ENHMETARECORD structure. This structure identifies the record type, specifies the record
length, and contains additional data that is dependent on the record type.
The first record in an enhanced metafile is always the enhanced-metafile
header. The header specifies the following information.
- Size of the metafile, in bytes
- Dimensions of the picture frame, in device units
- Dimensions of the picture frame, in .01-millimeter units
- Number of records in the metafile
- Offset to an optional text description
- Size of the optional palette
- Resolution of the original device, in pixels
- Resolution of the original device, in millimeters
An optional text description can follow the header record. The text
description describes the picture and the author's name. The optional palette specifies
the colors used to create the enhanced metafile. The remaining records identify
the GDI functions used to create the picture. The following hexadecimal output
corresponds to a record generated for a call to the SetMapMode function.
00000011 0000000C 00000004
The value 0x00000011 specifies the record type (corresponds to the
EMR_SETMAPMODE constant defined in the file WINGDI.H). The value 0x0000000C specifies the
length of the record, in bytes. The value 0x00000004 identifies the mapping
mode (corresponds to the MM_LOENGLISH constant defined in the file WINGDI.H).

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
