Any file format that can store multiple types of data, typically a graphics file format
A device-independent graphics file created by including -FIGure=filename on the command line when you run a Wisconsin Package graphics program You then can use the Figure program to print, plot or display the file For example, if you have configured your graphics for Tektronix emulation of a tek4014 terminal, the Figure program translates the metafile to Tektronix language and displays the information on the Tektronix terminal screen If you change your graphics configuration to PostScript for a LaserWriter printer and rerun the Figure program, the metafile is translated to PostScript and prints on the LaserWriter For more information, see "Saving Graphic Output to a File" in Chapter 5, Using Graphics
A memory or disc file containing an image in the form of drawing instructions, rather than as a Bit Image See also Vector Image

A file containing encoded graphical elements Metafiles are used for storing and transporting graphics images In the context of NCAR Graphics "metafile" is generally synonymous with NCGM
a collection of structures that store a picture in a device- independent format Device independence is the one feature that sets metafiles apart from bitmaps Unlike a bitmap, a metafile guarantees device independence There is a drawback to metafiles, because they are generally drawn more slowly than bitmaps Therefore, if an application requires fast drawing and device independence is not an issue, it should use bitmaps instead of metafiles
A graphics format that combines the features of bitmap and vector graphics Common types of metafile formats are CGM, Corel Draw CDR files, encapsulated Postscript EPS files, Adobe Illustrator, Word Perfect Graphics WPG files, PICT, and RTF
An intermediate, device-independent binary file that contains 2D vector graphics, used for plotting to various supported output devices (See the metafile(5) manual page on the CD-ROM )
