(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.
