scaling issues with saved plots

[Ron Crummett]

Hello -

This is a simple code snippet:

theta = 2*pi*[0:0.01:1];
plot(cos(theta), sin(theta));
axis equal;
print('circle.eps', '-depsc');

Pretty straightforward, right? Should plot out a circle within the axes, and then scaled so that it looks like a circle. But when I save it - whether as .eps or some other format - the image is compressed horizontally.

I'm sure that this is related to gnuplot more than octave, but I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Any ideas? I'm running 3.2.4.

Thanks in advance, 

-Ron
