That's probably in the right direction, but the MetaPost newbie I am,
I am unable to figure out the error:

mpost seminar.mp
This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6)
(seminar.mp (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/metapost/base/TEX.mp)
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/metapost/base/boxes.mp)
>> boundingbox.currentpicture.enlarged1cm
! Improper `clip'.
<to be read again> 
                   ;
l.26 ...o boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 1cm;
                                                  
?

What error could this be? The line I added is:
     setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 1cm;

Thanks!

Kumar
