Overview

This article explains how to resize EPS using C#. It covers the following topics.

C# Resize EPS Description

Resizing the image is an operation that changes one of the, or both, dimensions of the image: width and height. The content of the image is left the same, but the image itself can be scaled in dependence of new values of width and height. If with and height are proportionally increased the representation of EPS image will be enlarged, otherwise it will be lessened. If width and height are changed disproportionately the resulting representation of EPS image will be compressed or elangated in some direction. The volume of the EPS file will remain almost unchanged as our solution doesnt’t work with the content but works with the header and the setup section of EPS file.

To set up new size for the representation of EPS image often it is necessary to know its existing size and choise the units in which to assign new size. It can be Points (1/72 of inch), Inches, Millimeters, Centimeters and Percents. So the steps for resizing EPS image in C# follows:

Initialize PsDocument object with an input stream containing EPS file.
Extract existing size of the image using static method ExtractEpsSize.
Create an output stream for resulting EPS file.
Resize PsDocument object with new size in selected Units with static method ResizeEps.

Resize EPS setting new size in Points in C#

In the following C# code snippet new size of the image is set by Points (1/72 of inch):

 1// Setting new size of EPS file in points.
 2
 3// Initialize PS document with EPS file
 4PsDocument document = new PsDocument(DataDir + "input.eps");
 5
 6string outputFileName = "output_resize_points.eps";
 7
 8//Get size of EPS image
 9Size oldSize = document.ExtractEpsSize();
10
11//Increase EPS size in 2 times and save to new file
12document.ResizeEps(OutputDir + outputFileName, new SizeF(oldSize.Width * 2, oldSize.Height * 2), Units.Points);

For Linux, MacOS and other non-Windows operation systems we offer to use our Aspose.Page.Drawing Nuget package. It uses Aspose.Drawing backend instead of System.Drawing system library.

So import Aspose.Page.Drawing namespace instead of System.Drawing one. In the above and following code snippets Aspose.Page.Drawing.Size will be used instead of System.Drawing.Size. Our code examples on GitHub contain all the necessary substitutions.

Resize EPS setting new size in Inches in C#

In the following C# code snippet new size of the image is set by Inches:

 1// Setting new size of EPS file in inches.
 2
 3// Initialize PS document with EPS file
 4PsDocument document = new PsDocument(DataDir + "input.eps");
 5
 6string outputFileName = "output_resize_inches.eps";
 7
 8//Get size of EPS image
 9Size oldSize = document.ExtractEpsSize();
10
11//Save EPS file with new name and new size assigned in inches
12document.ResizeEps(OutputDir + outputFileName, new SizeF(5.791f, 3.625f), Units.Inches);

Resize EPS setting new size in Millimeters in C#

In the following C# code snippet new size of the image is set by Millimeters:

 1// Setting new size of EPS file in millimeters.
 2
 3// Initialize PS document with EPS file
 4PsDocument document = new PsDocument(DataDir + "input.eps");
 5
 6string outputFileName = "output_resize_mms.eps";
 7
 8//Get size of EPS image
 9Size oldSize = document.ExtractEpsSize();
10
11//Save EPS file with new name and new size assigned in millimeters
12document.ResizeEps(OutputDir + outputFileName, new Size(196, 123), Units.Millimeters);

Resize EPS setting new size in Percents in C#

In the following C# code snippet new size of the image is set by Percents:

 1// Setting new size of EPS file in percents of original size.
 2
 3// Initialize PS document with EPS file
 4PsDocument document = new PsDocument(DataDir + "input.eps");
 5
 6string outputFileName = "output_resize_percents.eps";
 7
 8//Get size of EPS image
 9Size oldSize = document.ExtractEpsSize();
10
11//Save EPS file with new name and new size assigned in percents of original size
12document.ResizeEps(OutputDir + outputFileName, new SizeF(200, 200), Units.Percents);
