SaveFigureToMetafile()

Summary

Saves figure graphics to a Windows Enhanced metafile.

Syntax

SaveFigureToMetafile(string figure_name, string emf_name)

Argument	Contents
figure_name	The name of the figure window whose contents are to be saved as a metafile. If figure_name is null, the current figure will be saved
emf_name	The path and/or filename for the Windows Enhanced metafile to be created

Notes

If only the file name is given, the .emf file is saved to Maptitude's program directory.
The output .emf file is a "placeable" metafile, with the header required by most applications which read metafiles.

Example

SaveFigureToMetafile(, "newchart.emf")
