Metafile
A metafile is a file format that can store multiple types of data such as graphics file formats . These graphics files can contain raster, vector, and type data. A common use for these files is to provide support for an operating system's computer graphics; e.g., Microsoft Windows uses Windows Metafile, and Mac OS X uses PDF.
Some examples:
- (PICT) Macintosh PICT resource, superseded by PDF in Mac OS X
- (WMF) Windows Metafile = (EMF) Enhanced Metafile
- (EPS) Encapsulated PostScript
- (CGM) Computer Graphics Metafile
- (PDF) Portable Document Format
- (CDR) Corel Draw File
- (SVG) Scalable Vector Graphics
- (WPG) Word Perfect Graphics File
- (RTF) Rich Text Format file
