Figure is uncropped when exporting to pdf in MatlabR2014b (with the latest export_fig)

[yiqunyang2ep]

Hi,

First thanks a lot for providing such a wonderful toolbox!

However, here I've found a bug when I switch to Matlab 2014b. In Matlab R2014b, when I was using the toolbox to generate pdf figure as:

export_fig test -pdf -transparent

The margin of the figure is not cropped as desired. Could you have a look at it?

Thanks!

Example code:
figure(1)
plot(1:100,1:100)
xlabel('Frequency (Hz)')
ylabel('attenuation (Neper/m)')
set(gca,'fontsize',16)
export_fig test -pdf -transparent

It looks like you're not using the latest version of export_fig.

I am using MATLAB R2014b with the latest version of export_fig.

I could reproduce, but only after changing the above fontsize from 16 to either 20, 24, 28 or 29. Other problematic values may exist as well.

Here is another plot where I found this issue to arise:

figure
ylabel('$$\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1}}}}}$$','Interpreter','latex')
export_fig  test -pdf

Actually I'm using export_fig_16jan2015 with GS9.15 on 64bit Matlab R2014b. I believe it is the latest version..

I've just committed a fix to the problem - it was caused by the fact that sometimes Matlab's print() function decides to place the %%BoundingBox x y w h section at the end of the EPS file rather than at the top, and this creates havoc... Moving this section to the top of the file fixes everything. Oliver already had code that does this, but the regexp that he used did not catch all of the cases, specifically those that had negative x/y values.

Thanks a lot for solving this problem!
