thank you, marc. I will play around with these parameters tomorrow at my real computer. yes, the idea is to just create an .eps and .pdf file, which is then \includegraphics[0.25\textwidth]{} in pdflatex. I need to tweak with the parameter ps.options(pointsize) because otherwise, I end up with 5pt fonts---which is not readable. And once I do this, I need different R parameter defaults on the axes. With the advice I have gotten, I think I am all set now. However, I am a little bit surprised that noone has written a package around this task---there must be many people that have to produce quarter-page (or half-page) graphics, and probably everyone is tweaking plot parameters a bit differently. It would be nice to build in some of this intelligence into plot parameters, themselves. of course, R is a free volunteer effort, and I am grateful for all the stuff that has been done already.
