.SH "NAME"
bbox \- prints out the bounding box of a rawppm or rawpbm image

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBbbox\fR
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:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
	  %%BoundingBox: 12 253 829 837
	  %%HiResBoundingBox: 12\&.500000 253\&.000000 828\&.500000 837\&.00000

\fBbbox\fR
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\&.
