Does anyone have a DLL / component / dcu / piece of source code that can
read/write EPS files in Delphi?

Thanks in advance...

In article <341EB352.BA2AD...@image-data.com>,

Looks like you don't get a good answer on this one..

If I could say that I hate a file format, it has to be EPS ;-)
I haven't used any PC program that can load all kinds of EPS files. AFAIK EPS
can contain a lot of different things, both bitmaps, ps text and vector images,
and all combined. Programs like Pagemaker can't read them either.. But they
can use them. They only show you a very coarse bitmap thumbnail that vaguely
resembles what you get when you print it on a Postcript printer.
Actually, the program I've had most luck with rading EPS vector images is
Caligari trueSpace. And then you get them in 3D too ;-)

You could try to look at :  http://www.imagefx.com/
They have a vector image OCX, vectorFX, which they claim can read EPS preview,
but I haven't tried it. They have a free demo.

I do not know what your'e after since I have not seen the earlier part of the thread but I have been experimenting with programmatically changing things in EPS files.
This works fine but you corrupt the preview. So on the screen you will only see a box with a cross but printing it will give you the correct picture.

Hi Johan

I actually want to alter the photoshop comment block in the EPS file. Any thoughts on how I might do that? I've sussed out most of the format of the comment block but
there's ONE byte per comment I can't figure out.

If you need more details, please ask.

You can use a graphics tool called GSTools/Ghostscript. Someone wrote
a script that should be able to convert EPS to PCX - I never got this
to work. However, the program GSView displays the content of the EPS
(not the thumbnail) and gives you the option to copy it to the clip-
board. From here you can paste it to any PC graphics program.
