R help - Aug 2002 - postscript() problem

Hi R-users,

I am using "postscript("xx.eps", horizontal=FALSE, onefile=FALSE,
height=6, width=10, pointsize=10)"  and "barplot(xx.dat)" in R to
produce
EPS graphics for LATeX document. When checking the graphics with "gv"
I
see that it was not produced with full details. The main graphic is
there, but axes labels and titles are missing. While checking the xx.eps
file with text editor I see that the xx.eps file was not produced
correctly and with full details. It's clearly missing some last lines.

Example of "tail xx.eps":
###example###
/ps 10 def R 10 s
100.97 244.54 (jan) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
138.91 244.54 (feb) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
176.85 244.54 (mar) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
214.79 244.54 (apr) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
252.73 244.54 (maj) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
290.67 244.54 (jun) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
328.61 244.54 (jul) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
366.55 244.54 (aug) 0.50 0.00 0.00 t
404.49 244.54 (sep) 0.5
###example###

Where is oct., nov. and so on??? The graphical output using x11() driver
is correct.


Thanks,

Rado

Did you remember to close the device with dev.off()?

Rado,

When producing a graphics file, it is important to issue dev.off() to
complete the file.  Perhaps you did omitted this?

Your session should look like:

> postscript("xx.eps", horizontal=FALSE, onefile=FALSE, 
+            height=6, width=10, pointsize=10)
> barplot(xx.dat)
> dev.off()
-Greg
