retainPostScript

Type

property

Summary

Specifies whether an EPS object contains the PostScript code.

Syntax

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

Description

Use the retainPostScript property to keep or ignore the underlying PostScript code of an EPS object after rendering it.

If an EPS object's retainPostScript property is true, the PostScript code used to draw the object is kept as the object's PostScript property. This means the EPS|EPS object can be printed or scaled and re-drawn without loss of quality.

If the retainPostScript property is false, the PostScript code is deleted once the object has been drawn.

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

Examples

set the retainPostScript of the templateEPS to true
