Hi again, and thanks to all who helped last time.
Is there an easy way to crop an EPS picture? I've used the method below but
I'm having a few problems:
\usepackage{graphicx} %in the preamble
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[bbllx=117,bblly=353,bburx=402,bbury=531,width=\textwidth]{f
ilename.eps}
\caption{blah blah blah}\label{fig:blah}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
Now if I use a \psdraft ... \psfull around the figure, the box it draws is
as you'd expect. When it's fully drawn, everything else that -should- be
on the same page above the figure (including the header) is 'deleted', and
there's just empty page. I've tried changing the bounding box entry in the
eps file and I've checked that it is where I want it using ghostscript, so
the actual lowerleft and upper-right coordinates seem to be okay. These
'points' are postscript points as opposed to latex points, and were
determined by using Ghostscript's crosshairs.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
