pymfvu is a part of the sK1project. It was made as a research tool to improve WMF importer of UniConvertor The project site is http://www.sk1project.org/ This project was started as a subproject of pyemfvu project (yet another research tool to make EMF importer for UniConvertor). pyemf module made by Rob McMullen was quickly changed to pywmf and I hope we will be able to merge them to provide unified module to work with WMF and EMF. Coding: While this code is just a quick hack to research WMF format, it seems to play the majority of WMFs better than any[1] other free implementation. See TODO to find out what is not implemented/finished yet. Using: Run it and open file(s) with File->Open (^O) or just supply filenames to open in command line. Slide the ruller to the right side, it will 'play' metafile. View->Hexdump (^D) toggles hexdump display View->Alpha (^T) toggles 'transparency' by switching from rgba(r,g,b,1) to rgba(r,g,b,0.5) View->Records (^R) opens window with a list of MF records in this file. File->Close (^C) closes file on current tab and exit if there is no more opened files. File->Quit (^Q) quit the pywmfvu File->SaveAs (^S) saves to SVG file (you have to slide the ruller to the end or just displayed part will be saved) Happy hacking! -- Valek Filippov Aug, 2007 [1] I compared with OO.org 2.2.1, libwmf-0.2.8.4 (wmf2x and wmfloader for gdkpixbuf), inkscape-0.45.1, karbon14 1.6.3, ImageMagic-6.3.4, Skencil-0.6.17. I have no idea how to check wine and batik. I didn't check win32 versions of OO.org or inkscape.
