# Syntax

set the retainPostScript of EPSObject to {true | false}

# Examples

set the retainPostScript of the templateEPS to true

# Description

Use the retainPostScript property to keep or ignore the underlying PostScript code of an EPS 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 PostScript property. This means the EPS 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.
