[Please don't top post - add your text at the bottom so we can follow...] "width=3D0.75in,height=3D0.75in" is *not* the bounding box. This how much= =20 space the figure should occupy in the document. The bounding box is given= =20 as: "bb=3Da b c d" which is the two coordinates (a,b) and (c,d) for the=20 figure (in the figure file). Hans |
