Re: [R] plot to postscript orientation
Hi, My vanilla code works fine... See also attached .eps file (seperate email sent directly to you) r-rnorm(100) postscript(figure.eps) plot.ts(r) dev.off() Also this works ok as you have been told already: paper=special in the postscript() call. If you see my eps file wrongly then your GSVIEW setup is wrong. Choose Orientation Auto and under Options (bottom half) click-select-tick everything except Ignore DSC. That should do the trick...

Re: [R] plot to postscript orientation
Do you have the Orientation menu set to 'Auto'? The effect described seems that if 'Rotate media' is selected, which it should not be. The files look fine to me in GSView 4.8 on Windows and other viewers on Linux. I agree with Uwe that it is a viewer issue (most reported postscript/PDF are).

Re: [R] plot to postscript orientation
None of the suggestions work for me, either. I see Costas's plot just like mine, i.e., incorrectly. I tried modifying the Orientation to Auto, selecting all the Options, and using paper=special.

I searched the R-help mailing list archive and found 2 suggestions: setting the width and height and setting horizontal = FALSE. I have tried setting the width and height but it makes no difference.
