savePlot export "eps" graph that seems to be incorrect. 

Trying to incorporate them in a LaTeX file, I get : 
++++++++++++++++++++++
Cannot determine size of graphics in foo.eps (no BoundingBox)
----------------------

Trying to open them with GSview, I get :

Looks like you saved an EMF rather than an eps file???

Sorry for that... I find a strange behavior in "savePlot" ; before 
report a bug, I read the posting guide and I try to simplify my exemple 
as much as possible. Doing this, I change my code and I remove the " 
type='eps' " option... Sorry !

Let's start this again.

When I use savePlot(file="toto.eps",type="eps") and I try to incorporate 
"toto.eps" in a LaTeX document, I get a strange behavior:
LaTeX run normaly, so does dvips. But the generated postscript include a 
graph that overwirte the line above it.
If my latex is

bonjour bonjour2 bonjour3
\begin{center}
 \includegraphics[width=12cm]{toto.eps}
\end{center}

Then "bonjour2 bonjour3" is hidden by the graph.

Version: 2.8.1
OS: Windows XP
LaTeX : Miktex 2.7

No so for me, but let me (what you still not did), give a reproducible 
example:

I opened some vanilla R-2.8.1 under Windows using

RGui --vanilla

in R:

plot(1:10)
savePlot(file="d:/temp/toto.eps", type="eps")

Then I created a LaTeX document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
bonjour bonjour2 bonjour3
\begin{center}
  \includegraphics[width=12cm]{toto.eps}
\end{center}
\end{document}


and ran LaTeX and dvips.

All is fine.  So, *please*, specify a reproducible example or we cannot 
help. I presume you have a LaTeX problem. Anyway, a better way to export 
your graphs would be to use a proper device directly - independent of 
what happens here.

And also, this is still not proved to be a bug, particularly not in R!
