R help - Jun 1998 - R-beta: Problem with Multi-Figure Plots

I was trying to make some multi figure plots and I had some strange
problems. I'm using R 0.61.2. When I make this plot
>postscript(file="timeplot5.ps",horizontal=TRUE)
>par(mfrow=c(2,2))
>plot(dados$a1)
>plot(dados$a2)
>plot(dados$a3)
>plot(dados$a4)
The last panel is ploted without the box and it is always ploted in
landscape mode. Can anyone reproduce this problem? But if I make the
plot this way
>x11(orientation="portrait",paper="a4",width = 6.7,
height = 9.5, ps=1)
>par(mfrow=c(2,2))
>plot(dados$a1)
>plot(dados$a2)
>plot(dados$a3)
>plot(dados$a4)
>save.plot("timeplot6.ps")
I get the plot I want. Am I making some
mistake in the first case?
Maybe it's just me... but I feel that this second aproach gives a plot 
with lower resolution. Is that true?

Thanks,

Pedro Vale Lima

Did you close the postcript device with "dev.off()"
before printing?

Regarding print quality, I should think that both the
"postscript" device and the "print.graph" function give
the same quality.  Both methods produce output in PostScript
form. This is a programming language for drawing
pages, so the resolution of the output should be as good
as your printer allows.
