Any help > appreciated. Is What version of Mathematica are you using? What do you mean by the phrase "print a selected region". Does this mean that you select a cell in a Mathematica notebook and then use the front end menu command File -> Print Selection? It almost sounds as if you want to export the graph as an EPS file with an appropriate bounding box. There are ways to generate these types of files, but the steps you take will depend on the version of Mathematica you are using. -- P.J.
