I guess I don't know enough post-script for this, but hopefully someone does. I'm attempting to use the NXEPSImageRep class object to create a list of similar ImageRep objects. The class summaries tell me that the 'newListFromFile:filename' method should return a list containing as many eps images as are in filename? How do I create an EPS file that contains more than one EPS image? Thanks, Joseph ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Josephk@adam.econ.lsa.umich.edu jck@umichub Joseph Klein

I think the method is only in there to parallel NXBitmapImageRep. TIFF files can contain multiple images to accommodate different frame buffers. It doesn't make sense for PostScript. (I could see it looking for %%BeginFile: ... %%EndFile pairs, but I don't understand *why* it would be worthwhile.) [I don't believe it; NeXT includes the EPSF spec in _Supplemental Documentation_, but omits Document Structuring Conventions? How useless! Time to dig out the 0.9 tech docs, sigh.] -=EPS=-

You can't. The newListFromFile: simply returns a List object with one element for today's EPS files. Ali, Ali_Ozer@NeXT.com
