EPS files

Does anyone know of any routines to read and diplay EPS files?

ImageLib (www.imagelib.com) or Lead Tools (www.leadtools.com )
can handle EPS format, but they'll cost some $s.

You sure they interpret a EPS file, and not just
any preview image that is embedded?

There is a big difference!

I only have Lead Tools API (and only version 7) and their documentation says:

"The image you read from an EPS file can be either a PostScript raster image or
an embedded TIFF image.  The image that you write to an EPS file is always a
PostScript raster image."

"For a PostScript raster image, you can read the following bits per pixel:  1,
8"

"For an embedded TIFF image, you can read the following bits per pixel:  1, 4,
8, 16, 24, 32."

"You can write only an 8-bit PostScript raster image, which is grayscale."

Someone with ImageLib will need to comment on its restrictions.

Yup, thats what I thought. Outside of GhostScript, I only know one place
to go for such an animal <G>

Re:EPS files


Hi!
ImageLib can write only 8-bit grayscale image.
Do you know any lib about writing color image for EPS?

Unless you have a very special need, then it is very
silly to output a bitmap in EPS format. That being said,
if you are unable to find one, I will gladly do you one
for a couple of hundred dollars.
