weird error from MASS::eqcsplot with postscript driver
The problem is the ``paper="special" '' specification in your eps()
function.
This makes par("pin"), which eqcsplot() uses in its calculations, undefined.
The ``value'' thus produced is:
[1] NaN NaN
Which makes perfect sense if you think about it.
If you're going to use paper=special, you need to specify "height" and
"width".
cheers,

Here is a minimal source script exhibiting the problem:
library(MASS)
eps <- function(file="Rplot.eps", horizontal=FALSE, paper="special",
...) {
postscript(file=file, onefile=FALSE, horizontal=horizontal,
paper=paper, ...)
}
# Figure frame
figframe <- function( xlim = c(-3,3), ylim = c(-3,3), xlab = '', ylab
= '') {
eqscplot( x=0,y=0, xlim = xlim, ylim = ylim, xlab = xlab, ylab =
ylab, type = 'n')
abline( v=0, col="gray")
abline( h=0, col="gray")
}
# screen: OK
op <- par(mar=c(3, 3, 1, 1) + 0.4)
figframe()
par(op)
# eps: fails
eps(file="test1.eps")
op <- par(mar=c(3, 3, 1, 1) + 0.4)
figframe()
par(op)
dev.off()
I know this worked under an earlier version, probably ~ R 2.9.x
