DPlot

is there anyone, using Dplot to make eps files....and then put them in the latex....then pdf?

I bought Dplot for my academic paper, because I need good looking plot graph....and....found out that Dplot doesn't support for eps directly.


My problem is the size of eps file. I got big margine around the phicture, and I can't change paper size manually.


please help.


p.s. how do u guys use DPlot?

... and I can't change paper size manually.

I'm curious about this. Why not?

In any case if that won't work then here are a couple of suggestions. You'll need to save your graph in DPlot to one of the image formats (BMP, PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIF, WMF, EMF) then use some other program with better support for EPS to convert that image to EPS, then import into LaTeX.

For metafiles (which unfortunately does not include your 3D example) try WMF2EPS.

For other formats I believe The GIMP should work well for you, once you navigate through all the maddening GNU verbiage to find the file(s) you want.
