boundingBox

Type

property

Summary

Specifies the value of the "%%BoundingBox" comment in an imported PostScript file.

Syntax

set the boundingBox of <EPSObject> to <left>, <top>, <width>, <height>

Description

Use the boundingBox property to control the appearance of an EPS object.

The %%BoundingBox comment specifies the height, width, and placement on the page of a PostScript file. Use the boundingBox property to find out these properties of the PostScript code in an EPS object, or to set them if the PostScript file did not do so.

The four components of the boundingBox property are equal to the EPS object's xOffset, yOffset, xExtent, and yExtent properties respectively.

This property is supported only on Unix systems with Display PostScript installed.

Examples

set the boundingBox of EPS 1 to 100,100,500,600
