title: Draw emf antialiased
body: <p>Is there a way to draw an emf metafile (exported form a drawing tool) with antialiasing enabled? The tools I tried are not capable of exporting emf files antaliased so I wondered if I can turn it back on manually when drawing the emf in the OnPaint override of my Controls. </p>
  
  <p>If anyone can confirm that is technically possible to generate antialiased emf files, another solution would be to use a drawing tool that can export to antialiased emf or have a 3rd party converter do this later. If anyone knowns such a tool, please let me know.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: When looking at the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc231166%28PROT.13%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">emf instructions</a> it doesn't seem that emf itself can actually store the information whether it is to be rendered antialiased or not. At least I couldn't find anything. It is more likely that the antialiasing is done by the playback engine. For example when I open an emf in Word 2007 it is rendered antialiased. But not when I draw it with GDI+ "playback engine" (<code>Graphics.DrawImage(...)</code>).  or when I view it the standard windows image viewer.
  This makes me believe that some tools actually have their own emf playback engine. So maybe there is free .NET library (preferably with source code) that give me an object model of the emf instructions stored in the parsed emf file so I can play it back myself instead of using <code>Graphics.DrawImage(...)</code>? </p>
