The Compressed Windows Metafile format is a vector file format that represents primarily Group 3 fax documents. It contains information concerning the page structure and the compressed line data of the fax document. This format was developed by Microsoft and is supported by Microsoft Office 2000 and Microsoft Word 2000.

The default extension used by this format is: WMZ.

Constants associated with this file format are:

Constant	Read Support	Write Support	Description
RasterImageFormat.Wmz	Yes	Yes	Compressed Windows Metafile Format

When WMZ files are rasterized, they are 24 BPP.

Required DLL: Leadtools.Codecs.Wmz.dll. For a listing of the exact DLLs needed, based on the toolkit version, refer to Files To Be Included With Your Application.

NOTE: This format does not support LEAD's redirected IO feature, therefore it cannot be used with the overloads of Load that take an input stream parameter or FeedLoad.
