Change Metafile background colour

rbuser

I'm loading metafiles into a TppImage with a call to LoadFromFile.

I'd like to control the background and default pen colour - avoid "white
lines on black background" to save on toner when printing .

I managed to do this some time ago, but can't find the code or reference
on the newsgroup. Anyone have a link or hint for me?

TIA.

Cheers,
EdB

Hi Ed,

EMF files consist of drawing commands to output an image. I assume you will
need to use some of these commands to control the background and pen colors
of the file. This is probably something that is accomplished using one of
the EMR routines in the Windows API. See the Windows SDK help for
information on these routines.

Hi Ed,

I was really hoping someone else would chime in on this one . I have
searched through out newsgroups and Google groups and am unable to find
information on this topic. Any idea the approximate date when you saw this
post? Are you certain this was on one of our newsgroups?
