R help - Nov 2007 - Controlling Postscript output, size and orientation

I'm trying to get my graphics so that I can use them in LaTeX to create (via
) a pdf presentation.

I've tried controlling inner and outer margins and figure size using par(),
to no avail. The ps output keeps appearing as a portrait page with a
centered figure. Nothing I have been able to do so far has changed that.
Below is the code:


par(	bg="yellow",
	lab=c(10,5,7)
	#mai=c(1.25, 1, 0.2, 0.2),
	#pin=c(6,4)
)

curve(20-(40*(exp(-.4*x)-1)), 
	from=0, 
	to=9, 
	n=1000, 
	add=F, 
	type= "l",
	lwd=2,
	xlab="Ocassion of Measurement", 
	ylab="y",
)

I had the same issue with a trellis plot:

obs.plot<-	xyplot(msen~Age, 
			data=obs.msen, 
			groups=ID2, 
			type="l", 
			lwd=2, 
			col=1,
			xlab="Age", ylab="Maternal Sensitivity",
			ylim=c(-.5,4.5),xlim=c(0,5),
			panel=panel.superpose,
			par.settings=list(background=list(col="white"))
		)
obs.plot

Check out the paper argument to the postscript device.  I think you'll
be more sucessful.
