Hi,
   I have a client program that creates a postscript 
file that creates an image.  I'd like to be able to 
make the image fit into a specified area of the page,
leaving room for labels, etc...  When I execute it
in a NeWS window (NeWS 1.1) using buildimage and 
imagecanvas - I simply build a rectpath around the
area where I want the image to be, do a clip, scale
to a unit square, scale to fit the image to the unit
area, buildimage and imagecanvas. It works great. 
However, when sending the same code to the printer
(using image and showpage), it's as if the image 
was done and then the clip clipped a hole out of it.
Meaning that the area that should be blank for the 
labels etc, has image in it, and the area where the
image should be is blank...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Susan Coghlan
