R devel - Jun 1998 - R-beta: PostScript tick marks in 62.1

R-users/developers,

I am loosing tick marks that I add to a plot with axis() when plotting 
to the postscript device.  They show up fine on the x11 device, and work 
with the postscript device when the default tickmarks are used (those 
added by plot()).

I am using R-62.1 from the RedHat5.0 rpm's on i86 Linux.

Do later snapshots correct this, or is this a running bug in R awaiting 
the graphics overhaul?

Thankyou for any suggestions/enlightenment,

Matt

I believe the graphics overhaul is already done, and is included
in the R 0.62 release.  This problem may be caused by failure to
close the postscript device with dev.off() before viewing/printing.
I cannot reproduce your problem exactly but you can get strange
results (eg losing the last thing you added to the plot) with the
postscript device if you don't close it.
