NAME

Wx::Metafile - Implementation of the wxMetafile class of wxWindows

SYNOPSIS

my $mf = Wx::Metafile->new('./test.emf');
# if it loads OK
if ($mf->Ok)
{
	# We create an empty bitmap
    $bmp = Wx::Bitmap->new(100,100);
    # And a temporary DC
    $tmpdc = Wx::MemoryDC->new();
    # Everything we do in the DC changes the bitmap
    $tmpdc->SelectObject($bmp);
	# We 'play' it inside the DC
	$mf->Play($tmpdc, Wx::Rect->new(0,0,100,100));
}

DESCRIPTION

See for more information the wxPerl documentation that can be downloaded from the wxPerl website (http://wxperl.sf.net), which also contains the documentation for this class.

Mind you: Wx::Metafile works only on Win32 platforms. It won't do anything on other platforms. Although it's possible to configure wxWindows to support WMF's instead of EMF's, the Windows Metafile support in wxWindows is broken, and only Enhanced Metafiles will work.
