Versatility with Windows Graphics
Windows metafiles (WMF) and enhanced
metafiles (EMF) are the native 16-bit and 32-bit graphics formats of the Windows operating environment.
You see them on screen, in software programs as well as behind the
scenes in the GDI display and print code that drives Windows application. When you copy a drawing to the clipboard from PowerPoint for example, it is stored as a Metafile. You can save
or export metafiles in most Windows graphics applications. Both formats
are used to save, exchange and publish drawings, diagrams, maps, charts, plots, forms and reports across the Windows platform.
Support for the EMF format is not widespread yet. Most often, you will
work with WMF files.
Using Your Windows Graphics on Other
Platforms
WMF and EMF are not broadly supported
outside of the Windows environment. Web pages, for example cannot display
metafiles. Other environments that lack support for viewing or authoring Metafiles are UNIX, CAD, XML and PS/PDF print production systems. They require
their graphics to be in different formats. META FLY is the bridge
between Windows and all of these other environments.
Available on Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX platforms, META FLY is a powerful tool to interactively
convert files individually or in batch mode into
standard vector and bitmap formats. Output can be generated for:
-
the native vector formats for FrameMaker (MIF), SGML (CGM), XML and the Web (SVG), CAD engineering (DXF), CAD viewing and plotting (HPGL).
-
WMF and EMF output are supported to solve customization and compatibility requirements.
-
Smooth anti-aliased raster image formats PNG, GIF and JPEG for use in Web pages or office documents (just extracting embedded images
to separate files is also possible).
-
High-quality TIFF raster images (color or black & white) for imaging, archiving and faxing applications.
-
Formatted ASCII text files for data extraction, searching or processing.
For customers large and small around the
world and across industries, META FLY saves time and quality while
enabling new workflows.

Q. What is the difference between WMF and EMF?
A. WMF, the original 16-bit metafile format, is
deeply embedded in the Windows world. Even though it
has been enhanced and developed into a 32-bit format
(EMF), WMF is still the most widely used and
supported metafile format on the Windows platform.
