Usually, + the filename has an extension "*.emf".</p> + <p>The driver works only in the Microsoft Windows platform, but you can use it + in other platforms without the risk of compilation error. If you attempt to + create a canvas in another platform, function <font face="Courier"><strong> + cdCreateCanvas</strong></font> will return NULL.</p> + +<h3>Use</h3> + + <p>The canvas is created by means of a call to function <font face="Courier"> + <a href="../func/init.html#cdCreateCanvas"> + <strong>cdCreateCanvas</strong></a>(CD_EMF, Data)</font>, after which other CD + functions can be called as usual. Parameter <font face="Courier">Data</font> + has the following format:</p> + + <pre><em>"filename widthxheight" </em>or in C <em>"<strong><tt>%s %dx%d</tt></strong>"</em></pre> + + <p>It must include the filename and the canvas' dimensions.<font face="Courier"> + </font>The filename must be inside double quotes (") if it has spaces.<font face="Courier"> + Width</font> and <font face="Courier">height</font> are provided in pixels + (note the lowercase "x" between them). Resolution (the number of pixels per + millimeter) is always the screen resolution.</p> + <p>Any amount of such canvases may exist simultaneously. Function + <font face="Courier"><strong>cdCreateCanvas</strong></font> <b>opens</b> the + file, and a call to function + <a href="../func/init.html#cdKillCanvas"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>cdKillCanvas</strong></font></a> is required to + <b>close</b> the file properly.</p> +<p>To use this driver in Windows using GDI+ is necessary to call +<font face="Courier"><strong> + cdUseContextPlus</strong></font><strong><font face="Courier">(1)</font></strong> +before creating the canvas. If you intend to use <strong>cdCanvasPlay</strong> +to interpret the EMF, then do not use GDI+ to generate the metafile. GDI+ +extensively use internal transformations that will affect the <strong> +cdCanvasPlay</strong> interpretation. Also some interior style will not be +correctly interpreted.</p> + +<h3>Behavior of Functions</h3> + + <p>This driver is greatly platform-dependent. For further detail, see the <b> + Behavior of Functions</b> of the <a href="win32.html">Microsoft Windows (GDI)</a> + or <a href="gdiplus.html">Windows Using GDI+</a> platform base drivers. It has + been noticed that EMF, when saved in the Windows 95 environment, is not + totally compatible with EMF saved in the Windows NT environment.</p> + +<h4>Control Functions</h4> +<ul> + <li><a href="../func/other.html#cdPlay"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>Play</strong></font></a>: different from the + basic driver, is implemented.
