A normal EPS file may not have a preview bitmap. A preview
bitmap looks like:
- %%BeginPreview: <w> <h> 1 <h>
- ...
- %%EndImage
- %%EndPreview
where <w> and <h> are the dimensions (in number of pixels)
of the preview bitmap
You can generate a
preview bitmap for a PS or an EPS file using tools such as ps2epsi or
pstoepsi. Ps2epsi comes with ghostscript. Information about pstoepsi can
be obtained from tgif's
home page. After you've installed, say, pstoepsi, you must rename
your EPS (or PS) file to something with a .ps extension, then you can do:
- pstoepsi file.ps file.eps
to generate a preview bitmap for file.ps.
