You may be new to R but that does not mean you should stay "new" to
the help pages. It looks as though postscript() is ignoring your
setEPS efforts,,, with perfectly legitimate reason since that is not a
defined parameter for that function. It is a separate function. What
happens when you use the height= and width= parameters that the
postscript help page defines for you? That "worked" for me (on a Mac
OS X 10.5.5/ R2.8.0-64bit GUI device). Or you could try executing
setEPS before your postscript call.
Further questions, as is always the case with output sorts of
questions, should include your systemInfo. This is an example in the
help page with an added plot. to make the otherwise blank 4 x 3 eps
file look more interesting:
> postscript("cm_test.eps", width = 4.0, height = 3.0,
+ horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = "special",
+ family = "ComputerModern", encoding =
"TeXtext.enc")
> plot(1:10,10:1)
> dev.off()
