Does anybody know how to get a pdf file with landscape orientation?.

  pdf(file= 'my_file.pdf' ,onefile=T,paper='A4')
    plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)
   dev.off()

Hey Juan,

paper="a4r" or "USr" for rotated (‘landscape’))

i.e.

pdf(file='my_file.pdf', onefile=T, paper='A4r')
plot(sin, -pi, 2*pi)  ;  dev.off()

Tell PDF the size of your piece of paper - here is what works for me:

pdf( file = "result.pdf", width = 28, height = 18 )	# numbers are cm
	some( stuff )
dev.off()

Hope it helps,
Rainer

>From the help for pdf:
  paper: the target paper size.  The choices are ?"a4"?,
?"letter"?,
          ?"legal"? (or ?"us"?) and ?"executive"?
(and these can be
          capitalized), or ?"a4r"? and ?"USr"? for rotated
          (?landscape?).

So I'd use paper='a4r'. You can also set the width and height
directly.
