Metafiles

A metafile is another type of file in which graphics are stored. However, a metafile contains data generated from the Presentation Manager graphics (GPI) functions only. (For information about graphics functions, see the OS/2 2.0 Programming Guide, Volume 3.) IPF supports a metafile as a hypergraphic link only when the entire metafile is defined as a hypergraphic area.

The artwork tag identifies the file name of a metafile as follows:

:artwork name='myfile.met'.
