.NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell

Name

MetafileHeader

Synopsis

This class encapsulates various attributes of a Metafile. It can be retrieved using the Metafile.GetMetafileHeader() method.

You can find the resolution of the metafile with the DpiX, DpiY, LogicalDpiX, and LogicalDpiY properties. The Bounds of the metafile on the page can also be obtained.

The header also contains a lot of information about the file itself. You can discover the EmfPlusHeaderSize and MetafileSize in bytes. The Type (from the MetafileType enumeration) and Version are also accessible. There is also a set of utility accessor methods to determine the type of metafile (e.g., IsEmfPlus()). As with all this grungy metafile support, these are something of a hangover from the unmanaged GDI+ interface.
