I just noticed a problem with printing to eps-files while using the fltk 
toolkit.

I won't have time to look into the detail until tomorrow.

This may be a MacOS only problem. Try ...

        graphics_tollkit fltk
        close all
        peaks (10)
        print -depsc -tight test.eps

If I print to -dpdfwrite or don't include -tight, I get the expected result. 
The result I get is attached (a very small surf plot).
