Segment Restrictions

Chained and unchained segments invoked by any GpiDraw... command are written to the metafile. Primitives outside segments are recorded automatically as zero segments. If the metafile is subsequently played in DM_RETAIN mode, all graphics are directed to the segment store.

Chained dynamic segments cannot be recorded in a metafile. GpiRemoveDynamics and GpiDrawDynamics cause an error condition to be raised when the presentation space is associated with a metafile device context. Unchained dynamic segments are recorded as zero segments. To draw an unchained dynamic segment, use GpiDrawSegment.
