Worst "standards"?

Great meaty article, but is "Sadly, EPS is one of the worst "standards" to ever be created" really neutral? --Larry Sanger

No, but the line is gone now. Zuiram 12:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Converting EPS to SVG

In case you are trying to include an EPS image in Wikipedia, rather than rendering it as a PNG, consider converting it to SVG. I was able to do this with the pstoedit [1] tool. It did require some manual tweaks to the SVG code, but it worked quite well. The resuling SVG drawing can be seen here: Image:EEA_agency_logo.svg. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vector?

Is EPS a vector format? WMF and SVG mentioned in relation to it are. Why?--194.249.198.32 (talk) 14:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It is in Category:Vector graphics markup languages. Why not ? Might be worth stating explicitly ? --87.194.174.252 (talk) 08:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File Extension

Is it worth noting the .EPS file extension in Encapsulated_PostScript#Identifying_EPS_files ? --87.194.174.252 (talk) 08:41, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Naming conventions for image file formats

Please see the discussion at Talk:Image file formats#Naming_conventions_for_image_file_formats on naming conventions for articles on image file formats. Dcoetzee 00:47, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious

Neither of these technologies exist on any other operating system, however.

Vector graphics existed only on the Mac? And forks are only on the Mac? Someone neutral on this matter should fix this. jdstroy (talk) 23:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It does not say that there are no vector graphics on the PC. The technology being described is PICT previews and resource fork & data fork file composites. It also must be remembered that the piece is talking historically, I think eps files were in use in this form even before Windows 3.1
