These guys have an EMF export that works reasonably ok -- and I think you can't expect more for the EMF format (which is what the WMFs noadays usually are, since the original WMF is to bad to be used -- it's just that noone follows the spec for the extension):

For full automation you'd probably need a combination of VB scripting in PowerPoint with a little Java code based on the transcoder examples and the EMFGraphics2D from the FreeHEP project.

There is an opensource proyect i have been using a bit, for handling WMF's, if it helps:

Hope this helps,


   This is a reader not a writer.  If you didn't already know
Batik also has a WMF reader.  What he is looking for is
a writer like the SVGGraphics2D (you draw things to a Graphics2D
and it generates WMF 'entries').

Yeah, i know it's very lossy... and no idea at all how to insert into PPT,
If not from SVG is there a way can it be done from XML to PowerPoint?
At present i'm using batik to convert xml to svg and svg to jpg.



Hmm Google search turned up:


http://piet.jonas.com/WMFWriter/WMFWriter.html
   It is not OpenSource.

Is there a way to convert SVG to powerPoint slides??
I'm developing an application which displays Organization chart and have a button called "Export".
On click of this i have to open organization chart in powerPoint. And i should be able to edit the info.
hope i'm expressing what i have to do.


   Well it sounds like you want a WMFGraphics2D (an implementation of
Graphics2D that outputs WMF files).  AFAIK such a thing
doesn't exist, but I haven't really checked.  It's also worth
pointing out that this conversion will be _very_ lossy (filters,
complex fills, etc).
   Also it isn't clear how you would insert your file into PowerPoint
from a Java Application.
