Well, it was just a dummy file to demonstrate the bounding box problem. You are
right, this will not show the other problem that turned up when drawi

Dear Nicolás,

Sorry, but that renders eps files with about 1/2 the size and horrible looking
results. Trying -r4000 gives about the same filesize, but still horrible
looking.

Tom, you can specify the resolution with -r300 (that's the maximun)
You may also consider embedding the fonts with: -dEmbeddAllFonts=true
-dSubsetFonts=true

thank you very much for your extensive answer!

That´s just because so far I didn´t know better how to deal with bounding boxes
- and I have a Linux machine running anyway.

Well, it seems that I have a lucky configuration/installation in my machine. As I already said, I have LyX 1.5.5,

Hi,
I tried your eps files in LyX 1.6 beta3 under windows XP. I use Adobe
reader 8 for pdf (generated by pdflatex IIRC) and gsview 4.9 /
ghostscript 8.62 for postscript viewing.
It does work better for me that for you it seems (you may suffer from an
outdated/buggy imagemagick). I tried the im
Do you mean that when the eps is displayed in LyX is not clipped, as it would happen if it was opened with Gsview? In my machine I can
see the clipped figure both in LyX and in the generated pdf/ps/dvi.

Dear Tom,
I checked your figures in LyX and could verify your problem. It seems that
imagemagick is culprit. I converted your eps files to pdf and included that in
LyX. That was shown perfectly clipped. So you could consider switchin gto
pdflatex, converting all your eps files by a script using eps

Good point - I mus
I you select the "Clip to bounding box" option and get the bounding box from the file, the result will be the same as if you simply do
not select the "Clip to bounding box" option (in my experience, at least).

Thank you for offering! Meanwhile I tested ps2eps V1.64 myself. While it
calculates the bounding box exactly (great!) the clipping to bounding box
option as per the Lyx dialogue doesn´t work correctl
In continuation with my last post...
Since I have got a working ps2eps, you could send me one example eps file so
that I can check if it works.

Dear Mukhtar,
to clarify the problem at hand:
1. I do have .eps files already (generated by a circuit drawing program plus an
.eps driver),
2. but they contain bounding box information that relates to the _page_ size,
not the actual drawing _tile_ size
3. the usual method to import something

Maybe, but unfortunately it does not compute any bounding box values around the

Some further digging the 'net for related information reveals that several
quite current ghostscript (GS-GPL and other) versions beginning with V8.60 show
bbox related bugs :-(
Any other idea/method _not_ using ghostscript to crop the white "frame" from

Tom Schlangen,
If you are using MiKTeX (which is most likely), then you can use eps2eps with
-dNOCACHE option like this:
eps2eps -dNOCACHE input.eps output.eps
This will convert all the fonts to outlines. If you don't want that, then a
better option is to use ps2eps on the link http://www.tm.uka.de
Hmmm, searching the 'net for the problem, the need of generating new bounding
boxes to exclude the excessive white "frame" around the actual picture in an
.eps file seems to be rather common.
What about a new/additional LyX graphics menue/dialog option, like "Auto
bounding box", means, having t
