The Metafile class defines a graphic metafile. A metafile contains records that describe a sequence of graphics API calls. Metafiles can be recorded (constructed) and played back (displayed).

Inheritance

The Metafile class implements Image.

Methods

The Metafile class has these methods.

Metafile::Metafile This topic lists the constructors of the Metafile class. For a complete class listing, see Metafile Class.
Metafile::PlayRecord The Metafile::PlayRecord method plays a metafile record.
Metafile::SetDownLevelRasterizationLimit Sets the resolution for certain brush bitmaps that are stored in this metafile.

Remarks

Some Metafile constructors (those that receive a device context handle) create Metafile objects that are used to record metafiles. Other Metafile constructors (those that do not receive a device context handle) create Metafile objects that are used to display (play back) metafiles.
