> Subject: st: Graphics translation: eps bounding box question
>
> Dear list readers,
>
> I have encountered the following problem:
> In the course of some descriptive analysis I need to create a total of ca.
> 120 graphs in Stata (MS Windows System). I have written a loop to do this
> efficiently, and everything is fine to this end.
> Now I want to convert part of the graphs to .eps format, in order to
> include them into my LaTeX document. This can be done by typing something
> like
> - translate graphi`i'.gph graph`i'.eps -
> in my loop. There are two problems with the bounding box of the resulting
> .eps-pictures:
>
> 1) The bounding box is not given in integers, but as i.e. "0.000 0.000
> 432.000 288.000". This causes ghostview/-script to complain. It should be
> "0 0 432 288".
> 2) The bounding box is calculated too large, leaving white space below the
> graph. In my case this is about 1/3 of the whole picture.
>
> I would be very happy if at least problem 1) could be solved somehow from
> within Stata (or in some other way). If the bb is given in integers,
> epstool can correct the size of the bb. As long as the bb is not in
> integers, epstool refuses to work.
>
> Any help is very much appreciated.
