Hi folks. I'm using the OpenWindows server as a filter to rasterize postscript one page at a time. (I do this by redefining showpage, and having it dump the rasterfile into a file instead of paint it on a mapped can- vas) I'm doing this because previewers like pageview depend on Adobe compliant structuring schemes, which most of our stuff does not com- ply with. Without looking at the postscript comments, is there a way for me to determine the size of the raster (and hence its portrait/landscape orientation and page size)? What I envisioned, was creating a large canvas, rendering the postscript into the canvas, and then calling some routine that could determine the boundaries of the raster. Is this possible? Any ideas on how I can do this or do this better? Please respond by e-mail... again, I rarely read this group. (Though I should.) Thanx. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave Bloom "I know that the hypnotized never lie... do ya?"
