I am trying to include some PostScript figures in a groff document.
The figures were created using MacDraw, then shipped to a Unix system and
run through macps (which prepends the appropriate headers).
The problem is that neither the original Macintosh PostScript, nor the
output of macps has numbers of the BoundingBox line (which is apparently
needed by Groff).
What I do have are:
%%BoundingBox: ? ? ? ?
%%PageBoundingBox: 125 130 2425 3170
as well as a line:
T T -130 -125 3170 2425 100 300 300 1 F F F F T T T psu
Is there some way to derive the actual BoundingBox from these numbers?
