509	psRegionFromString and psRegionToString need to do +/- 1	Paul Price	David.Robbins@…	"These functions must convert between the psLib convention and FITS standard. 
I've clarified the spec:

All functions which use a \code{psRegion} must interpret the
definition of $(x0,y0)$ and $(x1,y1)$ in the same way.  The coordinate
$(x0,y0)$ defines the starting pixel in the region.  The coordinate
$(x1,y1)$ defines the outer bound of the region, and are NOT included
in the region.  The size of the region is $(x1-x0,y1-y1)$.  If either
$x1$ or $y1$ is less than or equal to 0, the value is added to the
image dimensions (e.g., $Nx + x1$).  Thus a region \code{[0:0,0:0]}
refers to the full image array, while \code{[0:-10,0:-20]} refers to
the entire image, minus the last 10 columns and the last 20 rows.

...

{\bf Note that regions specified by strings are in the FITS standard.}
It is the responsibility of \code{psRegionFromString} and
\code{psRegionToString} to convert between the PS standard (0 means
first pixel; upper value is not included, but lower is) and the FITS
standard (1 means first pixel; lower and upper values are included),
which simply involves subtracting one from \code{x0} and \code{y0}
when going from a string representation to a \code{psRegion}."	defect	closed	high		mathtypes	unspecified	normal	fixed
