problem with the bounding box in eps files (savefig)

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,
doing a simple thing like:

plot([0,1],[0,1])
savefig('try.eps')

I get a stupid (large) bounding box:
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 765 1214

(with a "ps" file I get: %%BoundingBox: 0 0 918 1299 which is even worse)

==> to be right I should either get something of the order of : 230 805 720 1180
or have a very different positioning (and still a much smaller BB)

I probably have a bad setup somewhere but could not find it. How can I then obtain reasonable Bounding Boxes for my eps files (to be used in papers..)? (I looked at the archived emails but did not find help there)

Thanks!
Eric

I can't reproduce this here. Please post a complete script that sets any
non-standard rc settings.
