The only way around this is to actually print the picture pull out a ruler an measure the correct bounding box, translate this to pts and insert this with the epsf macro: Ex: \epsfxsize = 2cm \epsffile[llx lly urx ury]{ file.eps } where llx -- Lower left x coordinate lly -- Lower left y coordinate urx -- Upper right x coordinate ury -- Upper right y coordinate Regards -- Roger PS. This is something that you should really expect Mathematica to handle ... I've suggested it to WRI.
