SaveLayoutToMetafile()

Summary

Saves layout graphics to a Windows Enhanced metafile.

Syntax

SaveLayoutToMetafile(string figure_name, string emf_name)

Argument	Contents
layout_name	The name of the layout 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 that read metafiles.

Example

SaveLayoutToMetafile(, "newlayout.emf")
