)

public:
static RasterImage^ ChangeFromWmf( 
   IntPtr hwmf,
   int width,
   int height
)

Parameters

hwmf: Handle to the WMF to be changed.
width: Amount by which to scale the metafiles original width.
height: Amount by which to scale the metafiles original height.

Return Value

The newly create Leadtools.RasterImage object.

Some metafiles do not have a background color, and hence, when the metafile is used to create a Leadtools.RasterImage object, the area not covered by the metafile objects will contain the default image background color (black). To create a raster image from a metafile like this with a specific background color, use ChangeFromWmf(hemf, width, height, backColor).

If this method is successful, hwmf is freed.

The metafile can be loaded at the original dimension or scaled by using the width and height parameters.

If width == 0 and height == 0 - the metafile is loaded at the size present in the file.

If width == 0 and height > 0 - the metafile is stretched so that it has the height height (preserving the aspect ratio).

If width > 0 and height == 0 - the metafile is stretched so that it has the width width (preserving the aspect ratio).

If width > 0 and height > 0 - the metafile is stretched so that it has the width width and height height (the aspect ratio is ignored).

This method does not support signed images.
