moving the bottom margin in gnu plot bar chart


Hello, I made a script for gnuplot to create a bar chart. It is working perfectly well, except that the labels of the x axis don't appear completely in the bar chart.
I have this:
Code:
set encoding iso_8859_1

set terminal postscript color
set output "example2.eps"


set xrange [0:20]
set yrange [0:45000]
set xtics ("label1" 1, "label2" 2, "label3" 3, "label4" 4)
set xtics border in scale 1,0.5 nomirror offset character 0, 0, 0
set xtics rotate by -90
set grid
set style fill  solid 1.00 border -1

set data style boxes
set boxwidth 0.2

#comentario
plot "data.dat" using 1:2 title "first record"
The tags are so large that I cant see them completly, is there a way I can expand the bottom margin so I can see the entire labels of the x axis, better yet, is there a way I can count the length of the largest label and then use this as a parameter to set the offset?

I will answer myself so other users can benefit if they have the same doubt.
To move the bottom margin use set bmargin option. However it does not work right when using the set terminal png option. It does work correctly using the set postscript terminal with an eps output file.
