Thanks for your time, this is the answer I was looking for. I would say that R is rather bad at calculating the bounding box in this case - it seems to not understand the basic aspect ratio of the plot. But, knowing this, fixing it is possible; it was the vague feeling that I must be doing something wrong that was bugging me.
A nice work-around would be a bit of R that invokes GS and then splices the correct bounding box into the .eps automatically. I may attempt this sometime... thanks again --- Duncan Murdoch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: In both cases, R is not that good at calculating the bounding box: it will often include a lot of white space. (In this case it looks as though it is believing the values passed in the trellis.device call, but with other args to the postscript device it will do other things.) I generally use GSview's PS to EPS function to recalculate it when this sort of thing matters. ______________________________________________ [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
