The (eternal?) EPS-problem
Hi all. I've spent a good while experimenting with EPS figures. I wrote a program using GnomePrint, which produces PS files. These seem to include a few commands which do not allow using the bounding box. I've noticed many threads on the EPS theme, but have not been able to find a solution (including none of the various preamble tricks worked). I've installed gs 8.01, as the previous version segfaulted with ps2epsi. Tests done include: - use ps2eps (bbox is correctly detected) - use ps2epsi (idem) - use convert file.ps EPS:file.eps (Someone said convert would rasterize. Doesn't seem so) - editing manually the ps or eps files - viewing with gv/saving with bbox - adding -dEPSCrop to the converter - adding -dUseBoundingBox (?) to the converter - enabling the 'clip to' in LyX - changed gs versions In many combinations I found that gv showed the image correctly bounded to the image, and in some cases even LyX showed the image clipped correctly. In all cases though, the resulting PDF included all the white space above the image, pushing image down, half out of the page, ignoring the bounding box. Help!

It does not ignore the bounding box. Your bounding box does include all the
whitespace. If you change
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 596 842
to
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 454 454
everything is fine. I got that value by using pstops, for some reason my
