Cropping eps Figures

January 27, 2011

When writing documents in LaTeX, I need figures to be in eps format. Depending on the original format of the figure, converting the figure to eps may result in an eps figure with extra white space. Even gnuplot graphs, which can be exported directly to eps, include unnecessary which space.

To crop an existing eps (or ps) file, simply run ps2eps:

ps2eps input.eps

A cropped eps file will be produced, named input.eps.eps for the command above.
