No.


But there is another thing that is often needed,
namely, adjusting the size of the page to exactly
the size of the graphics. To do this, adjust :
[[
  Graphics->Geometry->Extents->Width / Height
]]

to some *absolute* values (i.e. : values in cm,
or in mm, not using a unit computed from to some
other length, like the 'par' unit, for example).


Then, you can tinker the size of the page by
means of :

* setting :
 [[
    Document->View->Page layout->Left/Right/Top/Bottom margin
    Document->Page->Margins->xxx margin... (xxx being "Odd page
      left", "Odd page right", etc.)
 ]]
 to 0cm ;

* adjusting the width & the height of the page :
 [[
    Document->Page->Size->Other
 ]]


In the end, you get a mini TeXmacs document that
is exactly your graphics, and nothing else. You
need to export it to .ps, then to .eps for inclusion,
e.g., in a LaTeX document (I know, I know, using LaTeX
should never be needed anymore, but... ;-).
