Enhanced Metafile

You can view Microsoft Enhanced Metafile format (.emf) files.

The Enhanced Metafile is a newer 32-bit version of the original Windows Metafile (.wmf), and contains additional commands.

An .emf metafile is a series of variable-length records, called EMF records, which contain graphics drawing commands, object definitions, and properties. The metafile begins with a header record, which includes the metafile version, its size, the resolution of the device on which the picture was created, and the dimensions of the picture. An .emf metafile is “played back” when its records are converted to a format understood by a specific graphics device. The image defined in an EMF structure maintains its dimensions, shape, and proportions on any output device, including printers, plotters, and desktops, or in the client areas of applications.
