May not be in standard distros, but can be compiled from the source. Here we have even used pstoedit in post-processing eps graphs from R. It works in some cases, but, for instance, lattice graphic was made of polygons instead of lines, and we couldn't change line widths for horizontal lines only in panel headers.
This is what pstoedit gives for version info: pstoedit: version 3.33 / DLL interface 108 (build Oct 17 2003 - release build) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2003 Wolfgang Glunz cheers, jari oksanen -- Jari Oksanen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
