[texhax] arbitrary page size question

[matthewm at ifh.ee.ethz.ch]

Hi,

Using xfig, I produce an eps figure which I then run through 
latex/psfrag for labelling.

I'd like to have the latex paper size be as close to the bounding box of 
the figure so that i have a standalone graphic, which I can then use in 
various ways.

I've tried using the geometry package to change the papersize and 
margins, but I think there are other constraints which prevent this 
package for letting me do what I want to do.

Kind Regards,
m
