 function Leadtools.Drawing.RasterImageConverter.FromWmf(IntPtr,Int32,Int32)( 
   hwmf ,

)

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

Parameters

hwmf: Handle to the WMF to be converted.
width: Amount by which to scale the metafile's original width.
height: Amount by which to scale the metafile's original height.

Return Value

The newly created 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 FromWmf(hemf, width, height, backColor).

When this method is completed, there are two copies of the drawing in memory: the new Leadtools.RasterImage object and the original WMF. Freeing one will not affect the other.

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.
