Hi,

thanks for your hints. I tried Inkscape, but it results in the same
effect: Even though I created a new file without boaders, Lyx will not
make the file fitting in the Box. The same happens, if I convert the
eps-files with epstopdf or ps2pdf.

Maybe there's something wrong with my pdf-settings of Miktex, ghostscript,
Lyx (if these exist)? The same graphics are correct displayed in .eps.

Looking forwards to any hints where to search for the solutions.
Regards,
Fritz
