Hi,

when printing a plot to eps using the option -tight, the generated eps file
has indeed the BoundingBox values (BB for short).

Opening the eps file with any viewer will show the correct image (respecting
the BB)

When inserting the eps file into latex, however, the BB will be respected only
if I use the "clip" option, i.e.,

\includegraphics[scale=0.7,clip]{figure.eps}

and if I remove the "clip" option, the BB value, for some reason, is partially
ignored. See pdf attached.

Nevertheless, if I use matlab to generate the same figure, there is no need to
use the "clip" option.

It seems like the eps generated by matlab has some sort of "clip enable" in
the eps sourcecode.

If this is the case, is it possible to enable clip by default?

P.S. I use "latex" command to generate the .dvi and dvipdf to convert to .pdf.
If I use "pdflatex", there is no problem since the eps is converted to pdf
first.
