gnuplot-beta

eps file

[Hartmut E. <Har...@ip...>]

I use gnuplot for windows (wgnuplot.exe).
When creating an .eps file with 'set terminal postscript eps'
I get an output file, which is on A4, but contains only a very small =
plot.
This is especially annoying when importing this file as a graphics into
MS-word. Is there a solution for this?

For info, I copy here the first comment lines of my .eps file:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-2.0
%%Title: eps_example_file.eps
%%Creator: gnuplot 4.0 patchlevel 0
%%CreationDate: Mon Jun 06 14:01:44 2005
%%DocumentFonts: (atend)
%%BoundingBox: 50 50 301 226
%%Orientation: Portrait
%%EndComments

Regards, Hartmut

How exactly did you establish the fact that this plot was "on A4"?  I 
ask because I'm quite sure that's not the case.  Look at the 
BoundingBox: it's considerably less than one A4 page's worth large.

  You can always use the quick and dirty solutions : delete the line of
your eps file starting with :
%%BoundingBox:=20

???
I think you have that backwards.
It is exactly the BoundingBox line that tells an application program
which portion of the page is of interest.  If you *remove* that line,
then you will probably get an entire, mostly blank, page.=20

   Sure, I forgot to add that you should rebuild a bounding box with
ps2eps.
