correct figure size using print eps R2012a

Hi All,

I have done a search and can't find the solution to a pretty simple problem. I want to save figures using the print function, but the dimensions of the figure gets funky when I try to save in eps. I need to use eps for publishing.

Here is an example of a simple data set with the code I use to print the figure

x=[0:50];

y=sin(x);

yE=rand(1,51)/10;

close all

figure(1)

axes('FontSize',10)

errorbar(x,y,yE,'-o','markerfacecolor','b')

xlabel('x','FontSize',12)

ylabel('y','FontSize',12)

set(gcf,'Units','inches','PaperUnits','inches')

set(gcf,'PaperPositionMode','auto')

set(gcf,'Position',[0 0 4.5 3.39])

print(gcf,'-depsc','test.eps')

here is the figure if I use file- save as in the figure:

Here is the image saved using the print(gcf,...) command:

Both figures above were was saved as .eps but had to convert to .jpg to upload here. Also, to highlight the change in figure size I added a black box around the edge of the image.

adding '-loose' did not fix the problem for me. I am using linux (scientific linux 6.7)

Thanks,

Casey
