-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have created graphics in Staroffice 6.0 that I need to use in a dissertation. The problem with Staroffice/openoffice is that it always produces postscript files (when printing to file) that are needlessly too big - - that is, the postscript images ALWAYS include blank whitespace above, below, next to, the actual graphic. In my particular case, I need to use the graphic in Lyx but because SO/OO doesn't produce a proper bounding box, I end up with too much whitespace included in the image that must be removed. Running ps2ps doesn't fix it.
I need to manually edit the postscript file to cut off the whitespace at the bottom of my graphics but I do not understand the postscript coordinate system. Where is 0 0? Top left corner? Top right? Bottom left? The actual coordinates for the bounding box of postscript graphic I am presently struggling with are 0 0 612 792. I don't know what this means. I need to know what coords refer to the bottom left and right corners of the bounding box so I can reduce the numbers to what they should be to eliminate the useless whitespace. Using gimp is not an option. Gimp converts beautiful postscript images/text into horrific bitmaps. Can anyone help me out here?
