System Requirements

Getting Started

You can fetch the Syncfusion® Xamarin MetafileRenderer library NuGet by simply running the command Install-Package Syncfusion.Xamarin.MetafileRenderer from the Package Manager Console in Visual Studio.

Try the following code example to convert the Metafile to SKBitmap image.

//Load the Metafile.
FileStream docStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath("Input.emf"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
//Create a new instance for the MetafileRenderer
MetafileRenderer renderer = new MetafileRenderer();
//Convert the Metafile to SKBitmap Image.
SKBitmap skBitmap = renderer.ConvertToImage(docStream);
//Save the image as stream
using (SKImage skImage = SKImage.FromBitmap(skBitmap))
using (SKData data = skImage.Encode(SKEncodedImageFormat.Png, 100))
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath("Output.png"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
{
    data.SaveTo(stream);
}
