Well as for good tools there are always more than one way to go (perl
philosophy) :-).
1st)
"gset term postscript eps color"
options available via gnuplot and "help set;help term help postscript"
2nd)
tex or let's say latex, what most people use has many import features
for
eps files. With some you can rotate and zoom the plot easily.
"\usepackage{amsmath,latexsym,german,epsfig,graphics,color,umlaute,pifont}
\epsfig{file=bilder/myeps.eps,angle=90,width=80mm}
"
There are really many features including eps-files in your report.
Read the latex-books.
