Re^4: create ps file with PostScript::Simple

The eps file "body.eps" is used for testing only.
But in my main program I have to a import 2 eps files : header and body. And I cannot control their sizes. If I adjust manually, there's certainly new case coming out of control.

And I cannot control their sizes With the `importepsfile()` method you do have autoscaling... you just need to specify the respective areas on the page where the imported EPS files are supposed to appear. If you know nothing about the shape of the EPS objects and still want a nice layout, however, you'll have to devise an algorithm (or maybe find a module on CPAN) that computes the optimal placement on the page. AFAIK, PostScript::Simple doesn't provide any support for this...	[reply] [d/l]

I can't use autoscaling in my case because the header and body won't fit w/ each other anymore. Thanks a lot almut for your help.	[reply]
