It doesn't show anything for 90° and 270°, just warnings about matrices. So I've tested this also with some other PostScript files and I've seen that the rotation doesn't work for any of them. I've prepared a patch which performs the rotation by inserting command "rotate" to the PostScript program right after %%EndSetup and adjusting of offsets accordingly. I've tested the patch for rendering of slices and it works. But I'm not entirely sure whether it will work in every situation.

Basically, this isn't a bug. If you want to rotate an EPS you absolutely should NOT be doing so by using /Orientation, which is a media selection parameter. You should instead use '90 rotate' or similar to set up the CTM before you render the EPS." @Marek: I tried your patch on some of the files from the Ubuntu bug, e.g https://bugs.launchpad.net/libspectre/+bug/1242678/+attachment/3886169/+files/test.eps ... it fixes the "nothing is displayed" but the orientation seems wrong (rotated from 90° compared to gs and 180° compared to what portrait should be (e.g axis/labels are wrong)). Not sure if that's a bug in the documents or in the change though Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspectre/+bug/1242678/comments/24 ** Changed in: libspectre Status: Unknown => Confirmed ** Changed in: libspectre Importance: Unknown => Medium ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #1031838 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1031838 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242678 Title: evince cannot render some EPS files Status in Evince document viewer: New Status in GS-GPL - GPL Ghostscript: Unknown Status in libspectre: Confirmed Status in “ghostscript” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnuplot” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “libspectre” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I upgraded to Ubuntu Saucy, evince cannot render EPS files generated by gnuplot. (Just show an empty page.) [how to reproduce] 1. Generate an EPS file using gnuplot by executing the following command. $ gnuplot -e "set terminal postscript; set output 'test.eps'; plot x;" 2. Open the file "test.eps" just created. $ evince "test.eps" The following are what evince writes to the terminal.
