[Gnuplot-info] bounding box cut half when eps file with multiplot is transformed into pdf file

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

I tried to invoke epstopdf to transform a eps file into a pdf file to work
along with pdflatex. The eps file includes a multiplot composing upper and
down parts. The transformed pdf file, however, only contains the upper part.
I looked into the eps file and changed the bounding box line from
%%BoundingBox: 50 176 410 302 to %%BoundingBox: 50 50 410 302, and redo the
transformation. It seems the problem is corrected. Is this always the right
way to deal with this issue? Can it be corrected when gnuplot generates the
eps file?

I formerly mentioned that the latex command does weird things on my
computer, sometimes it recognizes .eps file, but sometimes not. I don't know
why. Most likely both latex and pdflatex are installed in my computer. Thus
sometimes it uses latex, which recognizes .eps file, but other moments it
uses pdflatex. Is this correct? If so, how could this happen?

Thanks,
Jon
