Code: Select all

wfcreate u 8
genr x = @obsid
x(7) = 1
freeze(gf) x.line
gf.axis range(2,5)
gf.save(t=wmf) gf.wmf
gf.save(t=emf) gf.emf


for the save wmf file, the graph was not cropped, the lines go out of the frame.

That is actually correct. The successor to wmf files, emf files support clipping.

thanks! Once I have been told to avoid EMF, for its specification is not published.

But now, it seems the specs of both EMF and WMF are publicly released, on msdn
