Examples
The example demonstrates different features of the WMF2Viewer package. It shows several WMFs and BMPs as well.WMF2Applet example - use this if your browser is really able to JDK 1.2 applets (otherwise you will see a gray rectangle only).
Because the WMF2Viewer package uses JDK 1.2 which is almost not supported in the current major browsers there is the posibility to use the Java PlugIn from Sun, which works for certian browsers and platforms:

For those who are impatient or unable to see either the applet or the Plug In example here is a screenshot of the applet:
and of the application (with the german locale):
Features and Limitations
The WMFViewer displays only 16Bit WMFs, not 32Bit enhanced WMFs. A WMF consists of a header and a list of GDI commands.The GDI command areas which are supported with no limitations:
- Line thickness and styles
- Fill patterns (hatch, bitmap)
- Bitmaps
- ROPs
- Polygon fill modes
- Drawing of shapes and text (including rotated fonts)
- Intersection, exclusion and offset of clip regions
Some of the GDI commands are very Windows specific and can not be
rendered with the Java 2D API, which is the basis for this viewer. Therefore
very few of the WMFs can not be displayed properly.
The following GDI commands are not supported:
- palettes
- FloodFill()
- CreateClipRegion()
- SetTextJustification()
- SetCharExtra()
- SetStretchBltMode()
