Re: Size of .eps output plots

Joe,

You might want to considering using gnuplot directly.  In gnuplot you
make a script file that precisely describes the output.  It is an extra
step, but the price paid for control.  Personally, I save all my work to
ASCII text files and use gnuplot, as a second step, to generate the
graphical end result.  Gnuplot is so powerful!

Good luck,
Steve
