xpdf distiller: page doesn't fit graph

I want to make some good vector graphs to include in LaTeX.

I use
backend : PS
ps.papersize : auto
ps.usedistiller : xpdf

My problem is that when i export the graphs [savefig('test')] the
exported graph is in the middle of a large page, which isn't suitable
for inclusion in LaTeX.

How can I make the page the same size as the graph?

Please help me. Matplotlib makes the nicest graphs i know -- don't make
me use Matlab.

Best Regards
T.

savefig('test.eps') always works fine for me...

ps.papersize: auto picks the smallest standard papersize that will accommodate
your figure.

Try saving an eps file instead.
