# psbbox(1gmt)

Replace BoundingBox line in PostScript files by "real" BoundingBox

## NAME

psbbox.sh - Replace BoundingBox line in PostScript files by "real" BoundingBox

## SYNOPSIS

**psbbox.sh** *file* ...

## DESCRIPTION

This program replaces the BoundingBox line in all PostScript files specified on the command line by a BoundingBox determined by the bbox modules of Ghostscript.

## KNOWN LIMITATIONS

Works only for single-page PostScript files. Other limitations are the limitations of the Ghostscript bbox module.\
 EPS Ghostscript 7.07 occasionally produces no BoundingBox at all. Try using AFPL Ghostscript 8.00 or later instead.

## OBSOLETE

With the production of **ps2raster**, this script became obsolete.
