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.

BUGS

       Though the code is quite small and the probability for bugs is now small, there may be some left
