LyX simply reads out the bounding box of the produced eps file, so the result depends on the program that created that eps file. > I produced a figure with xfig which I converted to an > eps file.

If you want to run it by hand: fig2dev -L eps t.fig t.eps With that you don't even need the clipping option, so it should "Just work" if you include the .fig fiels in LyX rather than the .eps files and let LyX create the .eps files for you. If you have special text in the figures then I recommend to include the .fig files via the external inset. Then LyX will do all necessary steps for you to produce a nice .eps file, again with a tight bounding box. Georg
