Title: Dot ignores page size

Subsys: Dot
Version: GV1712
System: *-*-*
Severity: major
Problem:
Windows Windows 98 Second Edition The following code shows two glitches in Dot The initial label overlays the title and the generated graph extends beyond the page boundaries.

on my system graphvis/bin/test contains the test.dot files and the results

[erg] These behaviors occur on my SGI so have changed the system type.
Input file: b78.dot
Output file: b78.ps
Comments:
this was run as follows

..dot -Tps test.dot > test.ps and ..dot -Tgif test.dot >test.gif both give similar results
Fix:
[erg] The label is now okay. As for the graph extending beyond the the page, part of the problem is that page=8.5x11 is incorrect. The x should be a comma. In addition, by setting page, the graph is too large for a single page, so it is spread over multiple pages. If one wants the graph on a single page, the right attribute is size.
