ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping Namespace / EPSFormat Class
Members Example Version

EPSFormat Class
Represents an Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) object that can be used to export a MapView, MapFrame, or a Layout.
Syntax
public class EPSFormat : ExportFormat 
Remarks
EPS files use the PostScript page description language to describe vector and raster objects. PostScript is the publishing industry standard for high-end graphics files, cartography, and printing. EPS files can be edited in many drawing applications or placed as a graphic in most page layout applications. EPS files support embedding of fonts so that users who do not have Esri Fonts installed can still view the proper symbology.
