Bug Description
I am using xmgrace (very old software now, but still works!) on linux to produce graphs which I sometimes import into inkscape for decoration. When the attached file is imported into inkscape (windows or linux, latest release), the tick label "150" in the lower right does not appear.
Windows version 0.48.4-1 [on Win7]
Linux version 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Jan 29 2013) [on Kubuntu LTS]
Is the problem defective EPS produced by xmgrace? Or incorrect EPS import routine?
The "150" shows up using ghostview on windows as well as okular on kubuntu.
To post a comment you must log in.
Inkscape uses ps2pdf from Ghostscript to convert the EPS file to PDF [1], and then imports the PDF file using internal routines.
You can test on the command line yourself: ps2pdf. pdf
$ ps2pdf -dEPSCrop VariousGammaA5.eps VariousGammaA5-
and view that PDF file with your preferred PDF viewer: same result as what is imported in Inkscape (elements overlapping the borders of the portrait page (Ghostscript uses a system default for the page size) sometimes are clipped, those completely outside appear to be omitted completely).

-dEPSCrop
Crop an EPS file to the bounding box. This is useful when converting an EPS file to a bitmap.

(I get the same cropped PDF file as result when testing each of the two other EPS-specific options which Ghostscript offers).
