I am using gnuplot to create a few plot which are then to be taken into latex.
I have a number of 3-d plots. Therefore gnuplot's latex output becomes too big for
tex to process. I am run a program called psprep on the postscript file generated 
by gnuplot. When I follow the man pages for psprep and use appropriate commands to 
take this into latex, I am just not able to make it go where I want. When I view the
PS output from gnuplot, I notice that gnuplot always draws the plot(however small)
at the bottom left hand corner. Why does gnuplot not draw at the top?

Can anybody who has done similar stuff before please help me with this.

Following is what I do:

	ts.ps is the postscript output from gnuplot.

	psprep on this file generates ts.PF

	Inside latex I do

	\begin{figure}[htbp]
	\special{include ts.PF}
	\caption{Test}
	\label{test}
	\end{figure}

For some reason, even though the plot size is small it takes more space in latex.
This causes it to place the figure in the wrong area. Please send sample tex files 
if you have some. Thanks in advance.
Please email.
