It is an adobe system developed as a page description language primarily for printing on laser printers, but it can also be used to produce images on other forms of devices. Since is supported by imagesetters, and printers with high resolutions, it is, therefore, the standard for desktop publishing.
Since it is an object-oriented language, it treats images and fonts, as groups of geometrical objects and not as bit maps. This is where images are displayed as mathematical formulas which define all the image shapes.
It can also be viewed as a combination of software and hardware that represent images in geometrical formulas. Vector fonts, outline fonts, object-oriented fonts and scalable fonts are terms used to describe Fonts represented as vectors. It is notable that vector images are used in high-resolution output devices while bit-mapped images do not.
Most output devices raster devices meaning that all its objects including vector objects have to be translated into bit maps prior to outputting. The distinction between the two graphics is therefore that vector graphics are not converted into bit maps until all sizes and resolutions are specified.
PostScript printers have a raster image processor which performs the conversion within the printer. Ivan Cook. Ivan Cook chief Editor. It is strange that you get a low-quality image as it works for me. Some readers don't use smoothing, probably, this is the reason. Show 3 more comments. Wen Zhou Wen Zhou 1. Imagemagick always rasterizes a vector input.
You cannot convert vector to vector in Imagemagick, even with the command from WenZhou — fmw Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name.

Files of this format do not have restrictions on the length, several types, and image options, as they allow you to embed various multimedia tools, scan-line, and vector images. They are supported by Adobe Reader and many browsers, providing the plugin is installed.
Technical details. Any file contains a description of a 2D or 3D document with all the necessary components scan-line, vector graphics, text, and more. The extension does not encode data associated with the software or OS used to develop and view it. MIME type. EPS is a convenient file format for the transfer of text and images files. Publishers frequently use them as it can run in all operating systems.
