GetEnhMetaFile question

Hi,
unfortunately I'm rather new to all that graph and programming stuff, so my question might be stupid, but...
Is it actually possible to use the GetEnhMetaFile functionality of DPlot with an application similiar to the provided Real-time Demo?

If I understand your question correctly... that is you want to use DPlot_GetEnhMetaFile to get a handle to a metafile representation of a DPlot plot, yes, absolutely. You can use that function to get a metafile of any DPlot plot, even those not produced by your own application. The only qualification here is one of timing. Since you asked about real-time stuff, if you're sending data to DPlot at a high rate then you might run into a bottleneck if you also want to retrieve metafiles for every single update. But other than that it should work w/o problems. Let me know if you run into a stumbling block or have any questions.
