If you turn the figure into a bitmap, you could do it from Matlab by creating a png rather than an eps. Of course, eps is better as it is vectorized, so it is better to stick to vectorization in the pdf result. >>This resulted in the new eps file's bounding box becoming way too >>large.

Any hints on how I can fix this? You may try the ps2eps converter (converts eps to eps as well): it fixes the bounding box. -- Jean-Pierre
