Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ strange eps include problem

[apersaud]

Hi

I ran into a very strange (at least for me) problem. When including two eps figures in a figure environment the first figure, for some strange reason, gets included twice with an offset. Including the pictures by themselves everything is fine...

Kind of hard to describe, probably best to show you the result:

test.pdf

The resulting PDF file

(1016.81 KiB) Downloaded 144 times

(see further attachments)

The problem is that in the very top left picture in test.pdf the scalebar is shown twice with an offset... if I open the pdf in inkscape I actually see that the complete figure was included twice with an offset!

If I use pdf versions and pdflatex everything works, but I have to use latex->dvi>ps route for a paper submission.

The pictures are created using inkscape.
I tried the following:
* create pictures as pdf and use pdf2ps, ps2eps to convert to eps
* use eps2eps to convert eps
* put the eps into a minipage

nothing helped :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem solved. Someone figured out that the problem is because the eps file has some content outside the bounding box that creates this effect.

Thanks
