Package pictex-autoarea:
Automatic computation of bounding boxes with PiCTeX.

This package makes PiCTeX recognize lines and arcs in determining the "bounding box" of a picture. (PiCTeX so far accounted for put commands only). The "bounding box" is essential for proper placement of a picture between running text and margins and for keeping the running text away.
