Dear users, another question concerning graphics for publications. My favourite journal wants .eps-graphics, and from older postings i adapted the following code: postscript(file="Figure1.eps", title="Figure 1", width=11.5, height=8, paper="a4",onefile=FALSE)
I think you need 'paper = "special"' to get an eps file - the hight and width set the size of the plot, so you don't need to say what paper it is on for eps. HTH G
However, when checking the properties of this file, it is a .ps and not a
.eps file. So, i konverted to .eps with ghostview. Then, for windows it is
no longer a file of type "postscript", but just a file of type "file", what
makes me nervous. Any clue how to produce .eps-files in a more convenient
way?
In addition, the journal says that the files should be at 600 dpi
resolution. Since there is no resolution-argument to postscript(), how
can i check/ensure, that the resolution i high enough?
Thanks for your help,
Henning
