R-beta: image saved ps file

I include the argument

postscript("rstuff/test.ps")
tauseq<-seq(0,1,.5)
cif2d.image(x,,y,tauseq)
dev.off()

the image plot created is NOT square.  I thought pty="s" would make it
square.

Hmm. Sounds like a bug...

Generally it would be nice if the image saved to disk were like the one we
see while in R (X-windows).  Are they any tips on how to make it act like
that?

Tried save.plot() ?

Also it was mentioned a while back by Ross or Robert that a new version of
all these graphics functions was coming soon.  Maybe I should just wait
for that before trying to do this set of image plots.

Yes, massive amount of new features (multiple device drivers,
dev.copy(),...), but - currently - also a handful of new and
interesting bugs...

Yes.  That also has a bug.  The bug is that the image plot contains lots
of white horizontal lines.  I was told to use the alternative method.  It
does get around the white lines, but now I can't seem to get the plot to
be square.  I guess I will try some of those other myriad par arguments.

I find that I also need to change the pars in postscript().  This gives a
square plot:

dev.off()
postscript("rstuff/test.ps",horizontal="FALSE",width=6,height=6)
tauseq<-seq(0,1,.5)
cif2d.image(x,,y,tauseq)
