The issue isn't so much viewing is gsview (I've looked at previous threads on this and all my settings in gsview are the ones recommended), but creating a postscript file that is ready to be dumped into the LaTeX prosper package and have a good looking graph for a presentation. Currently, the graph comes out with lots of "white space" on a portrait oriented page. My work around has been to open the file in Adobe and to crop the file (interestingly, when Adobe opens the file, it does not read in the excess "white space"). This works fine, but it is pretty inefficient. I find it hard to believe that I can't control these things in R, but I have been unable to so using the reference manual and this site. Trying to do it with lattice plots is even worse... Using curve, line, and plot, I should be able to control these things using par(). In a lattice environment, I should be able to control these things using par.settings(). Oh, well, I'll keep plugging away... ----- ------------------------------- Project Scientist University of California, Irvine
