Hi Sid,<br>
you also get the message<br>
<br>
Overfull \hbox (17.62482pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 13--14<br>
<br>
17.62482pt is the value of \parindent which controls indentation of<br>
the first line of each paragraph.<br>
<br>
The pspicture environment is actually the first line of a new<br>
paragraph and therefore indented by the value of \parindent.<br>
<br>
The solution is<br>
<br>
\noindent\begin{pspicture}(16.20in,9.50in)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard<br>
