How to Render a DIB to an EMF
The Device Independent Bitmap or .Dib file is the format used in Microsoft Windows applications. The .Dib file can be opened in image-viewing applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft Windows Photo Viewer. The .Emf file is a vector image file that can be smoother than the .Dib file and good for using in computer graphics or animations. With the free Inkscape graphics software, you can render your .Dib file to an .Emf file.
