[GRASSLIST:3998] Re: BoundingBox in eps not found by ps.map

thanks!

but i found the mistake myself. the eps had mac line endings, which ps.maps doesn't understand. when i changed them to unix, everything worked fine.

regards,
Florian

PS: i thought i had posted the solution the same day when i askedm but i only sned it yo myself, not to the list :slight_smile:

i want to include an eps file (made with adobe acrobat 6.0) into a

%%BoundingBox is given.

works for me....
[tested with GRASS 5.7]

e.g. spearfish data set:

ps.map out=test.ps << EOF
raster elevation.dem
eps 50% -40%
epsfile /usr/lib/tk8.3/images/logo.eps
end
mapinfo
where 0.5 8.5
end
end
EOF
gv test.ps

here is the code, from 5.7's ps/ps.map/eps.c:
   ...
   /* looking for bbox */
   while ( fgets(buf, 200, fp) != NULL )
   {
       if (sscanf(buf, "%%%%BoundingBox: %lf %lf %lf %lf",
  llx, lly, urx, ury) == 4)
       {
           fclose (fp);
           return (1);
       }
   }
   fprintf (stderr,"Bounding box in eps file <%s> was not found\n", eps);
   fclose (fp);
   return (0);
}

so make sure the %%BoundingBox: statement has 4 numbers after it.
I don't know why it would fail otherwise.
