17) Ugly hack to crop eps file (without using Adobe Illustrator)
original eps file converted to jpg at http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-jpg
then jpg file cropped to remove whitespace at http://www.picresize.com/
18) Ugly hack 2 to crop eps file (without using Adobe Illustrator)
generate eps file, include in latex using includegraphics, compile latex file.
This generates a pdf file from eps.
Crop this PDF file using free software PDF scissors http://www.pdfscissors.com/
Then include that modified pdf in latex using includegraphics
