	Encapsulated PostScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These machines could not directly render the PostScript, which presented Adobe with the problem of how to provide a preview image while also including the actual PS version for the printer.
		By placing the PostScript in the data fork and a standard Mac PICT resource in the resource fork, both images could be moved about together invisibily as if they were one file.
		Unfortunately, in many cases the PostScript interpreter is of poorer quality, or is limited, compared to the one in a printer.

	PostScript Output
		PostScript can be produced from the NCAR GKS package in a generic format, or in EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format, or in EPSI (Encapsulated PostScript Interchange format).
		There are equivalent PostScript characters for all of the characters from the filled fonts in Plotchar, except for a couple of the math symbols, and except for all of the WMO weather symbols.
		PostScript does not understand landscape and portrait modes - in the case of printing to and 8.5" x 11" page, the area bounded by the PostScript coordinates (0,0) and (612,792) is printed on the page.

	Encapsulated PostScript (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It is possible to use the GKS PostScript driver in order to produce output files in the format Encapsulated Postscript, which is used by various text-processors (TeX, SGML, BookMaster, etc.) in order to combine PostScript-encoded data originating from different sources.
		Encapsulated Postscript format is similar to standard PostScript but with some additional header information concerning the picture size.
		The PostScript instruction "showpage" which is normally included at the end of the file in order to tell the interpreter to print the preceeding information is removed in the Encapsulated format.

	Encapsulated PostScript : Summary from the Encyclopedia of Graphics File Formats
		Data in an Encapsulated PostScript (EPSF) file is encoded in a subset of the PostScript Page Description Language (PDL) and then "encapsulated" in the EPS standard format for portable interchange between applications and platforms.
		In the case of printers, typesetters, imagesetters, and film recorders, their main function is to interpret a stream of PostScript language code and render the encoded graphical data onto a permanent medium, such as paper or photographic film.
		PostScript Level 2 adds additional features to the PostScript Level 1 language, including data compression (including JPEG), device-independent color, improved halftoning and color separation, facsimile compatibility, forms and patterns caching, improved printer support, automatic stroke adjustment, step and repeat capability, and higher operational speeds.

		Not all PostScript files can be encapsulated, because there are restrictions in what is permitted in a PostScript file for it to be properly encapsulated.
		There are certain to be cases, however, when encapsulation fails because of the nature of the original PostScript file.

		Although I refer to 'printers' throughout, you might be using a printer, a printing or previewing package on a PC or workstation, or a high-end typesetter.
		A particularly unpleasant source of problems is bugs, either in the programs that write the PostScript, or in a few cases in the PostScript interpreter itself.
		In PostScript level 1 there is a fixed limit; in level 2 the limit is much higher.

	An introduction to the EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file format
		Adobe's EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file format is substantially different in nature from DaVinci's other supported file formats.
		The PostScript data format was originally designed to store information relating to the positioning and proportioning of image data for printers, not computer displays.
		PostScript interpreters are available for most popular printers to emulate "true PostScript", but DaVinci can not check the useability of the transferred PostScript data on any given printer, nor can it gauge its output quality.

	Encapsulated PostScript (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is that part of Adobe's Document Structuring Convention that provides this information.
		If you are writing a PostScript printer driver or other utility which will be used by a large number of people to create or manipulate PostScript documents, do not even think about writing it without making it DSC-compliant.
		An EPS file is a PostScript file which follows the DSC and which follows a couple of other rules.

	What is Encapsulated PostScript?
		Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a standard format for importing and exporting PostScript language files in all environments.
		The purpose of the EPS file is to be included as an illustration in other PostScript language page descriptions.
		A variation of EPS embeds the preview image and PostScript text in a binary file which contains a header and the preview image in either a TIFF or MetaFile format.

		Second, it expands the size of the postscript file significantly by adding a 72dpi preview image in postscript comments (however, dvips strips out these comments).

		If you now print to a postscript printer device, the postscript part of the EPS file will be inserted into the output as you would expect.

	Including PostScript Graphics in Documents
		PostScript files that are to be included in other PostScript files are called "encapsulated PostScript" files.
		However, if you include or import these encapsulated PostScript files into your word processor document, you will not see an image or graphic in your document.
		Note that once you switch to encapsulated PostScript output, all subsequent graphics commands are sent to an encapsulated PostScript file.

	Producing a PostScript Preview Image
		According to the IDL 5.2 release notes a real preview image was suppose to be added to encapsulated PostScript files for both Windows and Macintosh computers by setting the Preview keyword on the Device command equal to 2.
		However, when I tried to open the encapsulated PostScript file in Framemaker 5.5, it complained that it couldn't display the preview properly and put up the usual gray box, which is common with encapsulated PostScript files without previews.
		But before you can do this, you must obtain a PostScript to Encapsulated Postscript plug-in, which is available for free on the Adobe Acrobat web page.

	OSU Physics Faq's: How do I figure out the bounding box (BoundingBox) for an encapsulated postscript file?
		By convention, the first line of a PostScript file specifies the type of PostScript and is then followed by a series of comments called the header or preamble.
		Note that a PostScript point is slightly larger than a TEX point, which is 1/72.27 of an inch.
		Since these methods do not check for illegal PostScript operators, they do not produce usable EPS files unless the PS files are free of forbidden operators.

	ps2eps - Tool for generating Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS,EPSF) files from one-page Postscript documents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Based on the given postscript source code (in most cases generated by some postscript printer driver) there are many potential obstacles or problems that may occur when trying to create proper EPS files.
		Some postscript drivers draw a white rectangle from the top left corner of the page to the right lower corner of the object.
		Some postscript code may get corrupted when comment lines or even blank lines are removed (which is the default to make.eps files smaller), because those files may contain encoded images which also have a % as first character in a line or use a special comment as end of image delimiter.

	jpeg2eps
		Despite JPEG being a nearly ubiquitous image format, it is often necessary to convert JPEG files to encapsulated PostScript (EPS) for inclusion in other documents (eg LaTeX).
		It turns out there is actually no need to decompress, since PostScript level 2 and higher can decompress JPEG internally - thus it is possible to “wrap” the compressed JPEG data in some PostScript to make a valid EPS file which is only about 25% bigger than the original JPEG.
		If your printer understands PostScript level 3 you can make some color ranges transparent by setting /ImageType 4 (rather than 1) and specifying in /MaskColor the range of each color component you don't want painted (so the background remains visible wherever all color components fall within the specified ranges).

	Encapsulated postscript (.eps) files, previews, and Microsoft Word (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)*
		As of IDL 5.2, encapsulated postscript files can be output with previews in both the EPSI and EPSF standardized formats.
		However, as of IDL 5.4 three new keywords to the DEVICE routine for the PS device were added which give the user the capability to explicitly control the size and quality of the encapsulated postscript preview, thereby forcing MS Word to insert the graphic with the appropriate scaling and eliminating the aforementioned normalization.
		WARNING : The fact that the graphics inserted into the MS Word document are encapsulated postscript means that you have to print this document on a postscript printer via the appropriate postscript printer driver !!!

		The EPS standard is device independent, so images can easily be transferred between applications, and they can be sized and output to different printers without any loss of image quality or distortion.
		The EPS file contains the PostScript commands needed to recreate the image, but the image itself cannot be displayed on a monitor unless the file also contains an optional preview image stored in TIFF or PICT format.
		A laser printer might be capable of 600 dpi, whereas a Linotronic printer is capable of 2450 dpi.
