Greetings: Please forgive me if this question has been discussed to death in the past, but I am not terribly conversant in PostScript and I am perplexed. I am trying to generate encapsulated post script so that I can feed the output of a tool that we are developing here at Carleton into TeX documents. If I produce output from the tool with portrait orientation, the postscript is incorporated perfectly. However, if I produce output with landscape orientation, TeX leaves the correct amount of space for the figure, but places it in the wrong location. I have checked the bounding box values from the tool for the eps file, and they are correct (as determined by using a ruler). In both cases I am setting up the translation matrix for the image myself (eg [aaa 0 0 bbb xxx yyy] concat). The entire postscript file is bracketed with 'save' and 'restore'. Questions: Is the concat operation legal in EPS files? Is the fact that I am rotating the image causing my dvi to postscript converter grief? Or am I missing something. Please send email (too much news and not enough time to read it all). I will summarize to the net if requested. Thanks.
