I am looking for a unix utility that computes the bounding box for a
postscript file. I do quite a few drawings and plots on the Mac and
use the captured postscript to be included in LaTex documents (via the
utility macps and psfig). Normally, we compute the bounding box (which
is required by psfig) by hand. I would appreciate if some kind soul
could point me to a program source that would compute the bounding box
(and perhaps even place the numbers in the postcript file). We have a
utility that does not work.
thanks in advance.
