Possibly. But I have hundreds of encapsulated PostScript
files in my book and not a one of them has the annotation
cut off. I'll see what I can find out.

You could set the outside margin with !P.Multi to give
yourself more room for the plots (!X.OMargin). Remember
that these units are character units. And save the defaults
or they are *very* hard to guess. :-)
