Open WMF File

WMF files can represent various types of formats, of different nature, such as:

Windows Metafile

In this particular case, the WMF extension file is a Windows proprietary graphics format developed by Microsoft.

The WMF contains a number of drawing operations, including commands to draw lines, circles, and rectangles.

Based on this, a WMF file is used for vector graphics as it can also contain bitmap drawing operations, which does not limit it as it can contain raster graphics.

WMF files originally appeared in 1988 with the release of Windows 2.0, were later specified when Windows 3.1 was released in 1992, and then released an update to the specification in 2006.

WMF files have largely been superseded by more standard formats like JPG and GIF images.

However, the WMF format is still supported by several programs, including Microsoft's Windows Photo Viewer, which is included in Windows 7.

Widelands Map File

In this case, the WMF file is a type of game or map file used by Widelands, a strategy game in which players control tribes and build settlements.

The WMF file contains a game map, including map size, terrain, starting resources, and tribe starting locations; can be used to create custom maps.
