retainImage

Type

property

Summary

Specifies whether an EPS object contains a preview bitmap.

Syntax

set the retainImage of <EPSObject> to {true | false}

Description

Use the retainImage property to create a preview bitmap that can be seen on systems without Display PostScript.

If an EPS object's retainImage property is true, the non- PostScript preview image attached to the EPS|Encapsulated PostScript file is kept with the EPS object and used for display on systems that do not support Display PostScript.

If the retainImage property is false, the preview image is deleted.

This property is supported only on Unix systems with Display PostScript installed.

Examples

set the retainImage of EPS 3 to false
