Windows Metafile to Structured Graphics Converter

This utility converts pre-existing Windows metafiles into structured graphic <PARAM> tags, for use with the Microsoft® DirectAnimation™ Dynamic HTML Structured Graphics control.

Use the Open command on the File menu to open the Windows metafile you want to convert.

Use the Options command on the File menu to set the scale, orientation, starting line number, and output format.

Use the Save command on the File menu to write the Windows metafile information out in structured graphic format. You can then cut and paste this information into your HTML file source for use with the Structured Graphics control.

• Reset on open — Resets the initial line number to zero (0) the next time you open the Windows Metafile to Structured Graphic converter.
