Arguments

Description

The function draw-metafile draws the metafile metafile to the pane pane at position x,y with size width, height.

metafile should be a metafile as returned by with-internal-metafile.

The graphics-state parameters transform, mask and mask-transform affect how the metafile is drawn. The other graphics-state parameters are taken from the metafile.

Notes

1. draw-metafile is supported on GTK+ only where Cairo is supported (GTK+ 2.8 and later).
2. Metafiles look bad on GTK+, because they transform the image rather than the drawing.
3. draw-metafile is not implemented on X11/Motif.
