hi there,
out of idea I decided to download gsview and try to open my eps file 
with it. It still showed it truncated but this time gsview has resizing 
capabilities, and I could actually reformat the plot so that it shows 
the whole figure and then save it. Given the fact that Matthew could not 
reproduce my issue and noticed that the ps figure was looking slightly 
different, I have the feeling that somehow ghostscript is not behaving 
correctly on my system, though I have no clue why or how. Is anyone 
expert in these matters around?

thanks a lot,
Johann
