Hi all,

It's me again.

I have do sth like this, but the size and density change

a.eps have 333x662 and 96x96 dpi
a.jpg have 256x467 and 72x72 dpi

Many Thanks

btw, where can i get the full documentation of imagemagick

EPS files do not have a density. You have to provide the density do IM to use to print it into a RASTER (array of pixels).

That however is not to say that individual parts of a EPS (raster image encoded into the format) can not have a density or resolution, just that the format itself does not.

The hardward printing EPS knows what density it is printing at, Im itself defaults to a standard screen resolution of 72 dpi, and that is the point.

That is YOU supply the resolution for ANY vector format. That is formats like EPS, PS, PDF, WMF, SVG, just to name a few, or IM will default to 72dpi.
