Mateus,

Your eps output from NCL does in fact have a bounding box
specified by way of:

   %%BoundingBox: (atend)

which flags a PostScript processor to look for the bounding
box at the end of the file. It turns out that the "eps2png"
application
you are using does not recognize this form of the bounding box
specification.

In any case I think it is preferable to start with a .ps and then do

   1.) .ps -> .eps (via ps2epsi)
                -> png (via eps2png or convert)

or,

   2.) Use Jamie Scott's suggestion in his recent posting.
