Not too hard - indirectly it will partially use it already, it will read 
the metafile (|ReadWindowMetafile), but still paint it as metafile using 
vcl (||maMtf.Play).
|||Instead you may use a Graphic (which you construct using the 
Metafile)/GraphicObject (which you construct using the Graphic), and 
something like in 
paintGraphicUsingPrimitivesHelper/paintUsingPrimitivesHelper like in sw, 
but only the parts that construct the 
drawinglayer::primitive2d::GraphicPrimitive2D.
You may also directly use a 
drawinglayer::primitive2d::MetafilePrimitive2D, then you only need the 
transformation and the Metafile, and a 
drawinglayer::processor2d::BaseProcessor2D (best is to use 
drawinglayer::processor2d::createProcessor2DFromOutputDevice, that will 
do all stuff for you).

HTH!
Regards, Armin
