[Xcircuit-dev] Wrong bounding box in eps output file?

[Romano Giannetti]

Hi all,

    first of all: thanks Tim for xcircuit. It's a really cool program. 
    I have to say that I use it just to draw schematics, and I must add that
    xcircuit is very good at it. I can draw circuits at the same speed with
    xcircuit and by hand, and xcircuit ones are really better...

    Now, my problem. I have changed from 3.1.15 to 3.1.28 and I have a
    problem with the bounding box: there is a big white space around the
    circuit. Reading the "changes" file, I understand it is not a bug but a
    feature; I humbly ask reconsidering, because this change makes including
    the xcircuit eps into for example LaTeX quite cumbersome. At least it
    should be left as an option when saving in "embedded" form. Attached a
    little example. Including it in latex with \includegraphics{xcbb} will
    get too much white space. 
    
    Thanks for considering this. 

    Romano 

    PS: I have another problem when compiling xcircuit with tcl. It seems
    that my .xcircuitrc is not read in that case. I have 

override default library
#First library page
library generic.lps 1
library analog.lps 1
library avlsi.lps 1
library digital.lps 1
library /home/romano/lib/xcircuit/utility.lps    2
library /home/romano/lib/xcircuit/bjtblock.lps   3
library /home/romano/lib/xcircuit/equivalent.lps 4
#
disable schema

    in my .xcircuitrc file, and it seems that it is completely ignored if I
    compile --with-tcl. 

Thanks again. Romano 

PPS: if you don't mind, please Cc: me when replying.
