a more useful example using standard R functions and
reproducible data --- from help(barplot) :
postscript("barp-VAD.eps", onefile=FALSE, horizontal=FALSE,
height=4, width=6)
data(VADeaths, package = "base")
barplot(VADeaths, beside = TRUE,
col = c("lightblue", "mistyrose", "lightcyan",
"lavender", "cornsilk"),
legend = rownames(VADeaths), ylim = c(0, 100))
title(main = "Death Rates in Virginia", font.main = 4)
dev.off()
## Using Latex's epstopdf
system("epstopdf barp-VAD.eps") #--> barp-VAD.pdf
## Use Acrobat reader:
system("acroread barp-VAD.pdf &")
## alternatively, requiring a newer `gv' (GView) which can deal with pdf:
system("gv barp-VAD.pdf &")
---
Looks perfect (Linux).
Hence, yes, it's your conversion software!
