It describes [[printable]] documents. EPS was developed because it is difficult to transfer images between Postscript files. An EPS file contains a bounding box. This makes it possible to calculate a preview image. The file contains either a bitmap or a vector graphic image. In essence, EPS is PostScript with a few restrictions, such as just having one page.Frim the file signature, people cannot tell whether the image is a bitmap or in vector format. EPS is hardly used anymore due to the newer [[PDF]].{{stub}} [[Category:Technology]]
