The figure `floating' somewhere around this paragraph (Fig. 
)
is the example used above as a demonstration of technique.
It was generated using xfig and fig2dev and has a
%%BoundingBox comment on line 6 of the PostScript file which reads
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 162 54
indicating first the 
and 
co-ordinates (in points) of the lower left
corner of the diagram (0,0) and then the and co-ordinates of the upper
right corner (162,54).
Since this document is processed using the newer of
the two dvips programs available, the 
source quoted in Fig.
was used to incorporate it.
The centred figure is 162 points wide, and has whitespace
either side of it approximately 139 points wide, in order to centre it
in a \textwidth of 441 points.
Figure shows a screen dump taken from one of the Department's
Hewlett-Packard workstations. The various screen windows show the following:
- upper left
- Some of the source file of a version of this document
- lower left
- Log output from a dvips run
- centre
- xdvi previewer output, with the `magnifying glass' active
- lower right
- A screenful of `chatty' log output
This figure was produced by adding the `xwd | xpr' command line to the
window manager menu as an option, so that
- no command line asking for a screen dump appears on the screen dump
itself (considered terribly unprofessional);
- the mouse was free to be used to demonstrate the `magnifying glass'
facility of xdvi.
Close inspection of this figure reveals quite a lot about the actual operation
of the document production system.
