Dear all,
I am using the following code to write the plot to an eps format
postscript(file="test.eps",horizontal=FALSE)
boxplot(test[30,1:500],test[90,1:500],test[150,1:500],test[210,1:500],test[270,1:500],test[330,1:500],test[390,1:500],names=c("1","3","5","8","10","13","1"),outline=FALSE,ylim=c(0.01,50),log="y",
xlab = "xvalue",ylab="yvalue",boxwex=0.5, pars
=list(whisklwd=0,staplelwd=0))
dev.off()
This creates a 6kb eps file, that can not be opened by any program. I tired with
photoshop gimp, acrobat reader. This is the normal process I follow to save my
plots.
dev.off always returns 1.
and the boxplot function succesfullu does the plot in the screen.
What might be the problem?
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
B.R
Alex

This could be a system problem, so we need to know what that system is. sessionInfo() would be helpful.> dev.off always returns 1. > > and the boxplot function succesfullu does the plot in the screen. > > What might be the problem? > > I would like to thank you in advance for your help > > B.R > AlexSarah -- Sarah Goslee http://www.functionaldiversity.org

See ?postscript and pay attention to the fourth paragraph under Details: The postscript produced for a single R plot is EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) compatible, and can be included into other documents, e.g., into LaTeX, using \includegraphics{<filename>}. For use in this way you will probably want to use setEPS() to set the defaults as horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = "special". Note that the bounding box is for the device region: if you find the white space around the plot region excessive, reduce the margins of the figure region viapar(mar=). HTH, Marc Schwartz
