Label shift when saving to .eps

I recently created a figure using boxplot and found that the x-labels (group names) were moved when I saved the file. This occurred even when I explicitly defined the position of the labels:

a = findobj(gca,'String','A'); b = findobj(gca,'String','B'); c = findobj(gca,'String','C'); apos = get(a,'Position'); bpos = get(b,'Position'); cpos = get(c,'Position'); positionmatrix = [apos;bpos;cpos]; set(a,'FontSize',16,'FontName','Arial','FontWeight','b','position',[positionmatrix(1,1) -20 0]) set(b,'FontSize',16,'FontName','Arial','FontWeight','b','position',[positionmatrix(2,1) -20 0]) set(c,'FontSize',16,'FontName','Arial','FontWeight','b','position',[positionmatrix(3,1) -20 0])

The y position of -20 was chosen arbitrarily. After saving, the figure returns the label to the original y position (-13.5). Any help in clarifying this behavior would be appreciated.

Can you provide more details on how you created the plot and how you export it? I just tried a very simple example, but didn't see the behavior you described:

load carsmall

boxplot(MPG, Origin)

print -depsc2 out

When I open the file out.eps using Evnice the position of the labels look fine.

Try this:

Export_Fig

EDIT

Try setting the YTickMode to manual. Same with XTickMode.

I tried using this package, but the problem still exists.
