EV9 XP x86, ver20151116


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
[MS-EMF]: Enhanced Metafile Format https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc230514.aspx
[MS-WMF]: Windows Metafile Format https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc250370.aspx

save wmf file, unexpected result
