I use pyxplot for producing diagrams and they are exported as eps files. in the output 0,0 is the origin of the x/y axes. Since the y- and x-axis-labels of the diagram go beyond 0,0, the bounding box in the header of the eps-file shows negative values of the lower left corner:

All Rights Reserved. Lyx inserts, however, the figure in the assumption, that 0,0 is the leftmost part of the figure. The result is, that the figure is shifted to the left and down, the latter resulting in overwriting parts of the legend of the figure. To avoid it, I can add in the graphic menue, second tab, the values of the left bottom and right top coordinates of the figure. Can this be done somehow more quickly? Note that the values differ depending on the width of the labels and numbers for the tics. Wolfgang
