METAFILEPICT info Overview Group

The METAFILEPICT structure defines the metafile picture format used for exchanging metafile data through the clipboard.

typedef struct tagMETAFILEPICT { // mfp 

    LONG      mm; 

    LONG      xExt; 

    LONG      yExt; 

    HMETAFILE hMF; 

} METAFILEPICT;

Members

mm: Specifies the mapping mode in which the picture is drawn.
xExt: Specifies the size of the metafile picture for all modes except the MM_ISOTROPIC and MM_ANISOTROPIC modes. (For more information about these modes, see the yExt member.) The x-extent specifies the width of the rectangle within which the picture is drawn. The coordinates are in units that correspond to the mapping mode.
yExt: Specifies the size of the metafile picture for all modes except the MM_ISOTROPIC and MM_ANISOTROPIC modes. The y-extent specifies the height of the rectangle within which the picture is drawn. The coordinates are in units that correspond to the mapping mode.
For MM_ISOTROPIC and MM_ANISOTROPIC modes, which can be scaled, the xExt and yExt members contain an optional suggested size in MM_HIMETRIC units. For MM_ANISOTROPIC pictures, xExt and yExt can be zero when no suggested size is supplied. For MM_ISOTROPIC pictures, an aspect ratio must be supplied even when no suggested size is given. (If a suggested size is given, the aspect ratio is implied by the size.) To give an aspect ratio without implying a suggested size, set xExt and yExt to negative values whose ratio is the appropriate aspect ratio. The magnitude of the negative xExt and yExt values is ignored; only the ratio is used.
hMF: Identifies a memory metafile.
