What is a wmf file and how do I open a wmf file?

In the year 1988, with the release of Windows 2.0, WMF files initially appeared. Later on, Microsoft published the WMF file format specification with the Windows 3.1 release in 1992, and then published a subsequent specification in 2006. WMF files have mainly been replaced by more standard formats, such as .JPG and .GIF images. The WMF format is still supported by different programs, including Microsoft's Windows Photo Viewer, which is included in Windows 7. A file with the .wmf file extension keeps a list of function calls issued to the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) layer, to restore the image. This includes executable code, which can be utilized by some GDI functions that accept pointers to callback functions for error handling. It has point that can store pictures in with smaller file size, in portable form, which can be delivered by processing and parsing the file with the .wmf file extension. Files with the .wmf extension contain a sequence of variable length records having graphics drawing commands, properties and object definitions. The WMF file extension denotes structures for defining a graphical image; because it has commands, property definitions and graphics objects that digitally records an image and can be played back to reproduce that image. This also can be shared among applications and can be used for storing images.
