Hi Robert, You need to add paper = "special" to the postscript() call.
postscript(file="~/Desktop/figure.ps", horizontal=TRUE, width=20, height=10, paper = "special") plot() ... plot() dev.off() Otherwise it is reset because you are specifying a size outside of what can fit on the default paper size. Once that is changed, it should work (tested both ways on Debian :)) Cheers, Josh On Sat, Nov 6, 2010 at 6:23 PM, threshold <r.kozar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear R users, simple figure: > > postscript(file="~/Desktop/figure.ps", horizontal=T, width=20, height=10) > par(mfcol=c(2,5)) > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > ##----- > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > plot(rnorm(100), type='l') > dev.off() > > Does not resize when saved on Desktop.
