Hi,

Several graphics programs have a postscript output possibility, like Slide
Write Plus, etc. With all these programs the Boundingbox statement in the 
preamble is a fixed value for a size of paper, say A4. However, I would
like to use the postscript output file as an imported picture in a LaTeX
document. This is possible thanks to psfig, which uses the Boundingbox
numbers to determine the size of the picture. An A4 Boundingbox definition
would therefor result in a page wide picture, and sizing is necessary.

My question is: is there a possibility to calculate the real bounding box
of a postscript picture, so I can adapt the default setting in the
preamble?

Thanks very much, Andreas

N.B. please reply by e-mail
