Possibly. But I have hundreds of encapsulated PostScript
files in my book and not a one of them has the annotation
cut off. I'll see what I can find out.
You could set the outside margin with !P.Multi to give
yourself more room for the plots (!X.OMargin). Remember
that these units are character units. And save the defaults
or they are *very* hard to guess. :-)
Cheers,
David

David,
There is definitely something wrong with the way the bounding box is
set when encapsulation is turned on. All my axis labels on the left-most
plots disappear when I turn encapsulation on. Opening the file in
Illustrator shows that the bounding box is the problem.
I'm using P.MULTI. I'd rather not have to duplicate that function to
position my plots when I turn encapsulation on.

Because I am thinking about things domestic this week,
I offer a home decorating quiz:
You bought a brand new dining room table from the
expensive shop on the corner. When you get it home
you find it doesn't fit in the dining room. Should you:
A. Take out the exterior wall and build an addition
to accommodate the table.
B. Lop off enough of the table with your chain saw
to make it fit.
C. Take the table back to the store and exchange it
for a smaller one.
Well?
I'm guessing your would answer A. IDL certainly would answer
B. But I am sure God's answer would be C, and is the reason
she invented the Position keyword for the Plot command. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. From my book:
curve = LoadData(1)
Plot, curve, YStyle=8, YTitle='Solid Line', $
Position=[0.15, 0.15, 0.85, 0.95]
Axis, YAxis=1, YRange=[0,Max(curve)*5)], /Save, $
YTitle='Dashed Line'
OPlot, curve*5, LineStyle=2
