That's probably in the right direction, but the MetaPost newbie I am, I am unable to figure out the error: mpost seminar.mp This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6) (seminar.mp (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/metapost/base/TEX.mp) (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/metapost/base/boxes.mp) >> boundingbox.currentpicture.enlarged1cm ! Improper `clip'. <to be read again> ; l.26 ...o boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 1cm; ? What error could this be? The line I added is: setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 1cm; Thanks!
