Question:
I need to join two *.wmf files together - adding one metafile to the end of the other metafile.Answer:
You need ot 'play back' those meta files in the order desired into the canvas of the new to be created meta file. The code below plays 'w1.wmf' and the 'w2.wmf' and saves it under 'w_merged.wmf'. |  | |
MetaFile1 := TMetaFile.Create;
MetaFile2 := TMetaFile.Create;
DestMetaFile := TMetaFile.Create;
try
MetaFile1.LoadFromFile('w1.wmf');
MetaFile2.LoadFromFile('w2.wmf');
DestMetaFile.Width := Max(MetaFile1.Width, MetaFile2.Width);
DestMetaFile.Height := MetaFile1.Height + MetaFile2.Height;
MetaFileCanvas := TMetaFileCanvas.Create (DestMetaFile, 0);
try
MetaFileCanvas.Draw (0, 0, MetaFile1);
MetaFileCanvas.Draw (0, MetaFile1.Height, MetaFile2);
finally
MetaFileCanvas.Free;
end;
DestMetaFile.SaveToFile('w_merged.wmf');
finally
MetaFile1.Free;
MetaFile2.Free;
DestMetaFile.Free;
end;
