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.
