What is the maximum dimension a metafile can be?
Thus maximum dimensions of a metafile becomes: Verified by testing. With horizontal and vertical dimension up to 32767, the metafile is readable with some applications, f.ex. GIMP, it shows the image. Possibly this is due to those programs considering the extents of the drawing as word instead of SmallInt.
Why is the metafile size 32767 not readable by some programs?
With horizontal and vertical dimension up to 32767, the metafile is readable with some applications, f.ex. GIMP, it shows the image. Possibly this is due to those programs considering the extents of the drawing as word instead of SmallInt.
When does the metafile update itself?
The MetaFile doesn’t update itself until you free the MetaFileCanvas. (The code you posted actually shows that, but the call to Free has been commented out.) Embarcadero’s example is wrong in another sense, too. All painting to the form should be done in the OnPaint event, not from anywhere else.
Can tsmallrect hold bigger coordinates than smallint?
The Box: TSmallRect field can not hold bigger coordinates than smallint -sized values. Right is calculated as Right := 1410417 * 96 div 2540 ( = 53307 as smallint= -12229). The dimensions of the image overflows and the wmf data can not be ‘played’ to the file. The question rizes: What dimensions can I use on my machine?
