The following conditions will work for eps files, however, the labels in the 
plot on the screen are adversely effected.

        if size<12: xe = xb+1.3*wb
        elif size==16: xe = xb+1.175*wb
        else: xe = xb+1.125*wb
        ye = yb+0.5*hb

Is it possible that the translation to postscript is what needs to be 
modified?
