## 项目历史与用法

Epstool is a Ghostgum utility for Encapsulated PostScript files. Its official page describes it as a tool to create or extract preview images in EPS files, fix bounding boxes, and convert EPS content to bitmaps.

### 项目历史

The official page distributes epstool 3.09 as Windows zip and Unix tar.gz archives and was updated on August 11, 2018. It fits the Ghostscript/GSview ecosystem of practical PostScript tools maintained by Russell Lang.

### 采用历史

Epstool has a quiet but durable packaging footprint because EPS preview and bounding-box repair are recurring needs in TeX, publishing, and PostScript workflows. In this dataset it is packaged by Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, and Ubuntu.

### 使用方式

Documented examples include adding TIFF previews, extracting previews, calculating a corrected BoundingBox from a Ghostscript bitmap, and copying an EPS file while adjusting its BoundingBox. The page says it works on Win32, Win64, OS/2, and Unix.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Epstool is a classic small Unix-style graphics utility: it does a narrow EPS repair/conversion job, depends on Ghostscript for bitmap generation, and remains useful to people keeping older PostScript publishing workflows reproducible.

### 时间线

- 2018: Official Epstool page updated and epstool 3.09 offered for Windows and Unix.

### Related projects

- Ghostscript is used by Epstool to create preview bitmaps.
- GSview is part of the same Ghostgum/PostScript tooling context.
