Encapsulated PostScript device

Description

Graphics device for an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format.

Usage

eps(
  filename,
  width = 7,
  height = 7,
  paper = "special",
  horizontal = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

filename	A string. The name of the created eps file. The extension (.eps) can be omitted.
width	A numeric. The width of the device in inches.
height	A numeric. The height of the device in inches.
paper	A string. The type of the paper designated in calling postscript function. Should be special (default) to avoid coordinate disarrangement in using eps file (e.g., vertical flipping when included in LaTeX).
horizontal	A logical. Whether to rotate the graphical coordinate. Should be always FALSE regardless of whether the figure is horizontally long or vertically tall. Otherwise, the resulting graphics can be inappropriately rotated in certain viewers.
...	Other arguments passed to grDevices::postscript().

Details

eps() is a wrapper for built-in grDevices::postscript() function in R. It opens a graphics device as an Encapsulated PostScript, with .eps extension and several pre-determined parameters. It is noteworthy that specification of paper and horizontal arguments (as special and FALSE) is currently necessary for R to produce proper postscript output. Designating different values for these parameters may cause coordinate problems in using the resultant eps file in other applications such as LaTeX and Adobe Illustrator. (But this might be a candidate for the future bug fixing in R.)

Examples

## Not run: 
eps("test", width = 6, height = 4)
example(htb.colors)
dev.off()
