Remove Space in MATLAB Exported Postscript File

Remove blank space in MATLAB exported postscript file.

Description

MATLAB includes extra blank spaces in the bounding box in exported postscript files. By removing extra blank spaces between the bounding box values Lyx a typesetting/wordprocessing software, can correctly read the boundin box values.

usage: fixeps('filename.eps')

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)
• Other requirements: tested on windows. minor change needed for linux.

It can really do nothing but read some information about the boundary box and cannot fix the problem at all. Something missing?

Oh, I was really confused at first. The white space is not referring to the actual bounding box, it's the spaces between the numbers in the file. This script changes:
bbox: # # # #
to
bbox: # # # #
and does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Tim, if you want a script to actually change the bounding box numbers, see my slight tweak of this file: fixepsbbom.m

shoot, the spaces got removed. The script changes:
bbox: #___#___#___#
to
bbox: #_#_#_#

where the underscores and spaces.
