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
	    Show summary of options.

     -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)

   ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
     Special  thanks goes to Michael Sharpe from UCSD who suggested a lot of im-
     provements 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
