NAME
bbox - prints out the bounding box of a rawppm or rawpbm image
SYNOPSIS
bbox [ -l ] [ -r ] [ -h ] [ -V ] [ rawpbmfile ]
DESCRIPTION
bbox reads a rawppm or rawpbm file and prints out the bounding box of
the image (as postscript comment and in postscript points, i.e.
1/72dpi) as well as the high resolution bounding box. Input is read
from standard input if no filename is specified. Example output:
%%BoundingBox: 12 253 829 837
%%HiResBoundingBox: 12.500000 253.000000 828.500000 837.00000
bbox has only very limited memory requirements as it reads the input
line by line and thus needs to store only one picture line in memory.
OPTIONS
-h | --help

-V Show version of program.
-r resolution of picture in dpi
-l loose bounding box (integer bounding box is expanded by 1 point,
hires bounding box is expanded by 0.5 points)

Special thanks goes to Michael Sharpe from UCSD who suggested a lot of
improvements for bbox to become more precise and robust, especially for
small drawings.

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