3 months and no response, so I'm closing this.

If the originator (Jerry B) returns this can be reopened

I've attached the result I get with the current developers sources. I don't see any clipping. Both the displayed images and the copy-n-paste pdfs are included.

Is this what you see as well?

Using the default plotter on OS X (gnuplot) and the graphics terminal AquaTerm (also the default, I think), numerical labels on the left side of plots (2D) are frequently displayed with insufficient room so that typically either a negative sign is clipped (i.e., missing) or parts of numbers in scientific notation are clipped. AquaTerm is neat because you can copy-paste the plot as a PDF into many other programs but this clipping error precludes publication-quality plots. Indeed, it makes simply reading grid values difficult or impossible.

Any simple example shows the problem:

+verbatim
x = [0 : 0.1 : 10];
y = 100.0 * cos(x);
plot(x, y);
y = 0.00003 * cos(x);
plot(x, y);
-verbatim

OS X 10.6.8
AquaTerm 1.0.1
