Usage of bbfig You use bbfig when you have a PostScript file and you try to include it in your TeX of LaTeX file, using one of the available macros packages -- psfig, epsf, psbox etc. In order to be included, the PS file should contain a %%BoundingBox PS command. If it does not, bbfig can help. You can type bbfig filename > newfilename Then if you send the "newfilename" to your PS printer, or look at it via a PS previewer (e.g. ghost) you get the BoundingBox details. You have to copy the BoundingBox line generated onto your file. Rama.
