Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) An extension of the
PostScript graphics file format developed by Adobe Systems.
EPS is used for
PostScript graphics files that are to be incorporated into other documents.
An EPS file includes
pragmas (special PostScript comments) giving information such as the bounding box, page number and fonts used.
On some computers, EPS files include a low resolution version of the PostScript image.
On the
Macintosh this is in
PICT format, while on the
IBM PC it is in
TIFF or
Microsoft Windows metafile format.
