Also, have you thought about also doing an EMF importer?
The Windows API helps you "play" a WMF/EMF file and later copy the result to any device (and automatically rescale the drawing to fit the DPI of that device), but I don't think it helps you find the graphical objects inside. You would have to parse the (undocumented?) binary file yourself to find them. I think this is what libwmf tries to do.
The EMF format is documented, and should not be very hard to parse (or write for that matter):
Cool. And, while I have ever only used the "Play" metafile function myself there seems to also be an "Enum" metafile function that actually does break down a metafile into components. That would make it very easy to import some basic shapes. I might look a bit closed at this one day, but not for another month or so.. Thanks
