Putting latex axis labels through gnuplot and into a latex document - graphics

Question

I have a plot in Gnuplot which includes axis labels in latex font, which compiles to produce a *.tex file AND a *.eps file. When I put the eps file into my latex document, the axis labels simply do not appear at all. When I try to imbed the *.tex file (which references the EPS), I get:
! LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in dimensionlessformm5d.tex (no BoundingBox).
What is a BoundingBox and how do I add it in to the *.tex file I want to imbed?

Answer 1

It's difficult to tell with no code, but you should be able to compile without specifying bounding box (are you loading the graphicx package? Use \usepackage{graphicx} in your latex preamble). In any case, you can get a bounding box with
gs -sDEVICE=bbox -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH file.eps
and specify on latex using
\includegraphics[bb = insert 4 bounding box values here]{file.eps}
Post you gnuplot and latex codes if you want more directed advice.

Answer 2

Latex code:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,bm,fleqn,amssymb,graphicx}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0in}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0in}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0in}
\setlength{\textheight}{9in}
\setlength{\textwidth}{6.5in}
\setlength{\headheight}{0in}
\setlength{\headsep}{0in}

(\ref{eqn:new22}) in units of $\tau^2 / \gamma_i$ plotted vs. normalized frequency $\omega / \omega_L$ for $\omega_L \tau = 75$ (black curve),250(green),1000(magenta), for a value of the dimensionless initial momentum $p_i / (m^{\prime} c^{\prime})$ of 2.375. Note that the independent variables have been expressed in dimensionless form for ease of scaling analysis. Note also that this is simply the fractional single-pass gain, except lacking the prefactor $e^2 Z_0\dot{n}/(4m)$.}
