Package: epstool
Version: 3.08-2
Severity: normal
Hi everyone,
there is a problem with this package in combination with gnuplot
images. Here is an example:
create a graphic like this in gnuplot (in my case gnuplot 4.2
patchlevel 3):
***************
gnuplot> set ylab "huhu"
gnuplot> set xlab "hihi"
gnuplot> set yrange [-2:2]
gnuplot> unset xtics
gnuplot> unset ytics
gnuplot> set out "tst.eps"
gnuplot> set term post eps
Terminal type set to 'postscript'
Options are 'eps noenhanced defaultplex \
leveldefault monochrome colortext \
dashed dashlength 1.0 linewidth 1.0 butt \
palfuncparam 2000,0.003 \
"Helvetica" 14 '
gnuplot> plot sin(x) not
gnuplot> set out
***************
Afterwards, cut out the bounding box like this:
***************
epstool --copy --bbox tst.eps tst_bbox.eps
***************
... and have a look with gv. The visible graphic (the same after
converting with epstopdf to pdf-files for latex) is a rectangle that
is bounded by the origin of the plot and the locations of the text. So
it doesn't cover the parts of the graphic which lie right and top of
the label's texts.
As a workaround I changed the bounding box in the resulting eps-file
manually.
Thanks,
Harald
