Details:

Using the default plotter on OS X (gnuplot) and the graphics terminal AquaTerm
(also the default, I think), numerical labels on the left side of plots (2D)
are frequently displayed with insufficient room so that typically either a
negative sign is clipped (i.e., missing) or parts of numbers in scientific
notation are clipped. AquaTerm is neat because you can copy-paste the plot as
a PDF into many other programs but this clipping error precludes
publication-quality plots. Indeed, it makes simply reading grid values
difficult or impossible.

Any simple example shows the problem:

+verbatim
x = [0 : 0.1 : 10];
y = 100.0 * cos(x);
plot(x, y);
y = 0.00003 * cos(x);
plot(x, y);
-verbatim

OS X 10.6.8
AquaTerm 1.0.1
