20 !!DESCRIPTION

22
23 __epstopdf__ transforms the Encapsulated !PostScript file
24 ''epsfile'' so that it is guaranteed to start at the 0,0
25 coordinate, and it sets a page size exactly corresponding to
26 the !BoundingBox. This means that when Ghostscript renders
27 it, the result needs no cropping, and the PDF !MediaBox is
28 correct. The result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF
29 version written.
