>> From: Herman Jaramillo
What I do is to export the graphic to PostScript and then fix it there
with the BoundingBox corners. It is important to note that here ther is
a bug in Maple V (I have not checked Maple other versions). The
last two coordinates are swapped. For example, in
%%BoundingBox: 163 56 362 299
the coordinates 362 299 should be 299 362 instead.
I believe that other formats can be fixed with "xv" and its crop utility
under Unix......
In any case Theodore is right and we should have not being doing this
outside of Maple. I would like to see a better fix to this problem
