Overview | An EPS file format is used for vector images in which points on a Cartesian plane are joined by lines and curves to form different shapes especially polygons. The added advantage to vector graphics is that they can be scaled up and down to any resolution. Emblems, figures, drawings, logos and other artworks can be saved using this format. Furthermore, it may have 2-dimensional vector graphics, text and bitmap images. As well as, a low-resolution image preview within the text document can be sent or received by an individual in it. One can also transfer the image between two or more operating systems, which makes it compatible format and that is why it is widely used by publishers. It is a standard format for storing both images and drawings within a postscript document. |
Technical description | An EPS file has a Bounding Box DSC comment(the smallest enclosing box for a point set in infinite dimensions) which describes the rectangle that contains an image. This information can be used by the applications to configure or layout the page, even though they are not capable of directly rendering the Postscript inside. Resizing, editing and manipulation of the image can be done using different software like Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator and there will be no effect on the quality. There are at least two necessary document structuring conventions(DSC) header comments and this adapts to Version 3.0 as well as to bounding box comment( it tells about the size of an image). There can be optional DSC comments. For instance, the %%Begin(End)Preview and it denotes the bitmap preview section. |

File category | Vector Image File |
Stands for | Scalable Vector Graphics |
Developer | World Wide Web Consortium |
Overview | This extension is based on an extensible Markup Language (XML) and images stored in this format are two dimensional as well as vector graphics. It is an open standard format but it supports both interactivity and animation. These files can be searched, indexed, scripted and compressed because their behaviour is specified by XML text files. Editing can be done using a text editor or any drawing software. All popular web browsers provide rendering support to SVG. The major difference between the bitmap image or raster image and vector image is that the former one is made up of a fixed set of pixels whereas the latter one consists of a fixed set of shapes. Scaling in raster reveals the pixels in it and in vector it tells about the shapes. |
Technical description | It follows lossless data compression as it contains numerous repeated fragments of text. SVGZ image is a compressed form of SVG, when it is compressed using GZIP algorithm. In 2011 there was mobile version 1.1, which minimized the computational and display capacities. As these files use text to describe the graphics that is why it is very easy to resize them to different sizes(Zooming and Diminishing) without loss of quality. Besides this, they have the capability to store rich graphics and also offers compatibility to CSS(Cascading style sheets) for styling which in return allows a higher level of presentation editing. In addition to this, JavaScript is used for scripting. Lastly, it has three types of graphic objects – vector graphic shapes (paths and outlines), bitmap images and text. |
