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 MicrosoftWindows metafile format.
