3.4.3 Picture box

Syntax:

     picturebox[baseline]
     picturebox[baseline] (p1)(p2)

The first form of picturebox causes a scalar baseline fraction to be emitted in the pspicture environment of the output. See PSTricks documentation for pspicture.

In the second form, the baseline fraction is optional, and the two points that follow define the diagonal of a three-dimensional bounding box for the completed scene. The parallel projection of the bounding box determines the corners of the drawing's pspicture* environment, which is used in place of pspicture. This causes PostScript to clip the final drawing to the bounding box in 2d. If there is a camera specified, the camera tranformation is applied to the bounding box, and the pspicture is set just large enough to include the transformed box.

When no bounding box is given, sketch computes one automatically.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
