I am trying to write an application which generates EPS files which are also directly printable, and having some problems with dealing with Landscape mode output. If your program generates output in the landscape mode, it usually has statements like; -90.0 rotate -792 0 translate which cause the imported image to be on its side. Thus, I am finding myself editing the file to comment out the rotate-translate line, and adjusting %%BoundingBox:.. accordingly. While this is acceptable to me, it's not for most users. Does anyone have a graceful solution to this?? I know I can let the user choose whether the output is destined for the printer or for importation as EPS files. But you never know. It's often the case that you want to print the files saved as EPS. And the smaller the number of files you have to keep, the better. I appreciate any help on this.
