I had to look this up--BoundingBox is LowerLeftX, LowerLeftY, UpperRightX,
UpperRightY, with the origin at the lower left of the page.
When I run x02 I get
%%BoundingBox: -429496697 -429496697 -429496696 -429496696
which is only 1 square (typesetter's) point on a side. That file has 696 nan's.
The svg device makes a svg file which opens in a browser but displays only a
black rectangle which looks like it could be the right size for the background.
My graphics editor that normally likes svg's won't open it. It has 80 nan's but
no obviously wacky numbers in the first few lines--stuff like this:
width="720pt"
height="540pt"
viewBox="0 0 720 540"
but by the middle of the first screen things seem to get odd:
<g
transform="matrix(1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 -1.000000 -47187360.043947
-47187360.043947)"
>
<g
transform="matrix(1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 nan)"
>
<text
dominant-baseline="no-change"
fill="#FF0000"
fill-opacity="1.000000"
xml:space="preserve"
font-size="-2147483648"
text-anchor="middle"
x="-0.000000"
y="0"
The svgqt drive makes a file with 84 nans.
When I tried pdfcairo I got 140 of these including an identical -2147483648 for
each copy, which I can't help but notice is -2^31 which looks a lot like an
integer to me and is also a lot of 1's in two's complement binary if memory
serves:
(process:44748): Pango-WARNING **: pango_layout_set_markup_with_accel: Value of
'size' attribute on <span> tag on line 1 could not be parsed; should be an
integer, or a string such as 'small', not '-2147483648'
