Sebastian,

        what we've been doing is to call xmgrace for writing eps files.
Perhaps not the most elegant solution but functional ....

'exec gracebat $filename.dat -hardcopy -hdevice EPS -printfile
$filename.eps'

You have to write out a file with your data, which gives you the
chance to add some xmgrace formatting, i.e:

     # write a xmgrace header for the file
     puts $out "@ page size 1200, 600"
     puts $out "@ g0 on"
     puts $out "@ with g0"
     puts $out "@ title \"TITLE HERE\""
     puts $out "@ subtitle \"SUBTITLE HERE\""
     puts $out "@ xaxis label \"X-Axis\""
     puts $out "@ yaxis label \"Y-Axis\""

hope that helps,

-h-
