NAME
       bbfig - calculate bounding boxes in PostScript

SYNTAX
       bbfig [ file ... ]

USAGE
       Bbfig should be piped into psprint or the equivalant.

DESCRIPTION
       The  concatenation of the list of files, or standard input
       if no  file  names  are	supplied,  is  assumed	to  be	a
       PostScript  program for which the bounding box is desired.
       Bbfig prepends code that calculates the bounding box,  and
       places the result on standard output.  The actual calcula-
       tion is done in the PostScript printer; the output  is  in
       the form of a dashed line demarcating the bounding box and
       and the corresponding %%BoundingBox  header  line  printed
       just  below  the	 box.	The  %%BoundingBox line should be
       added to the header of the PostScript file.

BUGS
       Bbfig is known to  be  confused	by  images  and	 clipping
       paths.  If  the	box  around the figure clearly is not the
       minimal one, a ruler is the best bet for	 calculating  the
       correct box.  Remember that the bounding box values are in
       PostScript points (72 to the inch) relative to  an  origin
       at  the	lower  left corner of the page, and that (a,b) is
       the lower left hand corner of the bounding box, and  (c,d)
       is the upper right corner.
