Hi ROOT users/developers, Apparently it is not possible to print two pads which occupy the same canvas to two different eps files. It seems to be that the page size (or bounding box) are chosen to coincide with the canvas size. This means that if one prints e.g. the upper pad in a canvas, it will have a trailing white space occupying half of the area. I think that it would be very convenient to have an (immediately accessible) way to print a pad to a seperate eps file, with a bounding box just fitting the pad. This would then be the standard way of producing illustrations which will later be used in text. However, I have no idea whether it would be easy to provide such functionality... Note that for eps files it would be quite natural when the size of the bounding box would be determined by the size of the picture inside, instead of some predefined notion of how large (and what aspect ratio) it should be, since these are always rescaled later on to fit in text or so. Cheers, Marco van Leeuwen.
