Clipping

XNormally a PostScript program can be expected to not mark the page Xoutside its bounding box. If this is not the case, or if you Xwant to use the bounding box to isolate part of a larger figure, Xthere is an option that sets the PostScript clip path so that Xno marks will show up outside the declared bounding box. Currently Xthis is invoked by adding a clause of the form ``clip=''. XHere a slice has been taken out of the pie chart in the example by Xspecifying a smaller bounding box and adding the clip option.

figure=figs/piechart.ps,height=2in,bbllx=306bp,bblly=396bp,bburx=486bp,bbury=546bp,clip=

XSome PostScript programs use the clipping path to position their output on Xthe page; if a figure is being drawn at its natural size and position Xdespite psfig commands to the contrary, it may need the clip option. X
