3.4 Bounding- and other boxes
=============================

A PostScript file may have a page size and a boundingbox defined.  A pdf
file may have a mediabox, a trimbox and various other boxes.
Ghostscript by itself normally converts the PostScript page - which is
anchored at (0,0) - to the pdf mediabox.

Conversion to pdf usually translates the bottom-left corner to the (0,0)
origin and sets the ...box to the size of the graphic.  Anything outside
the ...box should be cut off.
