Discussion
This function loads an enhanced-format metafile (EMF) into a graphics window. For more information on metafiles, see the description of the WINDOW procedure.
Example
Assume that the file map.emf is an enhanced-format metafile that was exported from a graphics application. The following command reads the contents of that file directly into a graphics window.
status = WREAD_META(2, Filename='map.emf')
