How exactly are you saving the graph as PostScript?
I guess the problem is due to the fact that you save the PostScript
picture on a paper according to your default paper size (which is "a4"
for me). To create PostScript pictures with reasonalbe tight bounding
boxes that are suitable to be included in a LaTeX document you should
specify `paper=special' and then define your plotting area via the
'height' and 'width' argument.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
