<div dir="ltr">These files are generated by a text editor. If the EPS files are converted to PDF by epstopdf, everything is OK. LaTeX + dvips + ps2pdf does the right thing. XeLaTeX without any options for xdvipdfmx cuts the part with the negative coordinates, the origin is at the lower left corner.. LaTeX + dvipdfmx moces the origin to the upper right corner so that the part with the negative coordinates is shown but the part with the positive coordinates is clipped.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Zdeněk Wagner<br><a href="http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml" target="_blank">http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml</a><br><a href="http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz" target="_blank">http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz</a></div></div>

</div></div>hi, yes I see that's the documented behaviour but I'm trying to<br>
understand the issue?<br>
Why make the user do either of those things? Can't I just detect the<br>
negative coordinates<br>
in xetex.def and shift the image in to place if the driver is going to<br>
mis-place it?<br>
<br>
If I get an eps file from somewhere why should I know it was generated<br>
by metapost<br>
and why should iIexpect that<br>
<br>
\fbox{includegraphics{file.<wbr>eps}}<br>
<br>
fails to put the image in the box with xetex when it does with latex+dvips?<br>
<br>
What I can't tell looking at the code comments is if it is really an<br>
issue with metapost generated files<br>
(which I can not detect in xetex.def) or if it is an issue with any<br>
eps with negative coordinates in the bounding box<br>
(for which I could add translate in the tex macros if that is needed.<br>
