- Summary: postscript TeX transfig fig2ps2tex fig2dev psbb
- Lines: 23
-
-
-
- In the Linux man-pages it mentions a program "psbb" to extract the
- %%BoundingBox of a postscript file.
-
- Has anyone got the binaries or knows where I can find the binaries?
- -- or the sources?
-
- On Suns, there is a "desk-calculator" called "dc". Has anyone ported it to
- Linux? If so, where can I get the binaries from, and if not, has someone got
- the sources?
-
- (I am trying to use transfig, tex and xfig. In order to leave enought space in
- a TeX file, I need to know the size of a postscript picture. To avoid
- calculating the dimentions by hand, I would like to use fig2ps2tex, which in
- return uses "dc" - which I don't have!)
-
- Any help (real help!) is greatly appreciated.
