Description Orion Poplawski 2014-10-06 17:51:23 UTC
xdvi has a useful feature of being able to show the bounding boxes of images and pages.  This would be nice to have in okular.

Reproducible: Always

Please be more verbose, i read your wish and i have absolutely no idea of what you want.

Sorry.  Here is a screenshot of xdvi showing the red bounding boxes around the page and included image.  This is with a dvi file, but probably applies to PS and others.

What's the use case for that? I may see the use case for images if you're generating this from latex and you want to add/remove some empty space in the image. But for the page?
Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2014-10-06 18:21:15 UTC
Yeah, it's the image bounding boxes that are useful for working with latex.  Page, probably not so much.

We used to have something like that in kpdf as far as i remember, anyone willing to implement it is welcome :)
