“Metafiles are one of two fundamental ways of representing an image. While they are not suitable for all images, photographs in particular, they have many advantages over bitmaps for charts and drawings. Peter Aitken demonstrates how to use them in .NET.”
Windows GDI has had numerous vulnerabilities due to poor parsing. A better approach would be to use XAML and Windows Presentation Foundation(WPF): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Presentation_Foundation
So as XAML, better use *standard* format for graphics SVG.
…how WMF came out after PICT, eh?
“Snozzberry? Who ever heard of a Snozzberry?…” ;-p
Super bonus points for the title!
WMF files can contain bitmaps. They are a meta-file format, meaning that they can contain any type of data understood by the windows GDI/GDI+.
While they most often contain vector data, they can just as easily contain bitmap data.
