SYNOPSIS

9       bbox [ -l ] [ -r ] [ -h ] [ -V ] [ rawpbmfile ]

DESCRIPTION

13       bbox  reads  a rawppm or rawpbm file and prints out the bounding box of
14       the image  (as  postscript  comment  and  in  postscript  points,  i.e.
15       1/72dpi)  as  well  as  the high resolution bounding box. Input is read
16       from standard input if no filename is specified.  Example output:
17
18              %%BoundingBox: 12 253 829 837
19              %%HiResBoundingBox: 12.500000 253.000000 828.500000 837.00000

22       bbox has only very limited memory requirements as it  reads  the  input
23       line by line and thus needs to store only one picture line in memory.

BUGS

56       Though the code is quite small and the  probability  for  bugs  is  now
57       small, there may be some left somewhere between the lines.  In case you
58       find one, please send a short description with bbox version  number  to
