Ted,
The ".ie" is using just that, but the last line above the figure is
not filled after HELLO.
Not even if I put some 8 hello after it, it is not getting right
justified.
There must be a way to seamlessly accommodate a figure/picture
without
fiddling with the text before calling the picture drawing macro.

Hi Miklos,
The folowing is a skeleton of something which might do what you want.
(I confess I overlooked some details of your first post, since they
were hidden in image/pbg attachments; and the three text/plain
attachments were empty).
First I have created a primitive EPS image in temp.eps:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 36 72
newpath
0 0 moveto
0 72 rlineto
36 0 rlineto
0 -72 rlineto
closepath
fill
showpage
All this does is draw a filled rectangle. Then I have stripped
out most of the detail in your ps_leftl macro (since it referred
to things I had no information about), and set up the following
troff input file:
.nr p_in 48000
.de oldind
'in
..
.de ps_leftl
.mk temp
.wh \n[temp]u+144p+1v oldind
'in \\n[p_in]u
\Z'\h'-\\n[.k]u'\v'0.25v'\X'ps: import temp.eps 0 72 36 144 36000''\c
..
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
HELLO
.
.ps_leftl
.
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello
The BoundingBox of temp.eps is 0 0 36 72 ; the use of 0 72 36 144
in the \X'...' (i.e. with 72 added to lly and ury) has the effect
of causing the graphic to be placed with a vertical displacement
of 72p downwards.
In the ps_leftl macro, a vertical position trap is set for the
execution of 'in (to restore the original indent).
Maybe the above can be adapted to your detailed needs?
Ted.
