R help - Oct 2003 - Text cutoff in legends

Dear r-help

If I display plots on the X11 device, the legends looks fine. But if 
make an EPS, the longer entry in the legend is cutoff (and also in the 
.pdf I do from the .eps)

Can you give me a hint and tell me what I do wrong, please ?

postscript("plot.eps",paper="special",horizontal=F,onefile=F,width=8.0,height=7.0)
dev.set (2)
dev.copy (which=3)
dev.off (3)

R Version 1.6.1  (2002-11-01) on SuSE Linux 8.0


Thank you very much

Marcel

Probably nothing.  The X11 and postscript devices have different 
boundaries.  The plot is made to fit them, and the legend added to that. 
   I don't usually use dev.copy(); I just repeat the plot commands after 
the postscript() device is opened.  Try that; if that doesn't work, 
adjust your legend placement.

Might as well upgrade R while you're at it.  1.8 will be out Real Soon Now.
