[R] Box around legends (and postscript?)

[Michael J. Manning]

Hi all

Humbly begging forgiveness for bothering the list with yesterday's 
lame--arsed question.  Postscript, being a vector graphics file format, 
is, um, resolution independant.  The problem as Peter pointed out was 
with the gimp, which defaults to 100dpi resolution when viewing 
postscript files.

I have another (lame?) question.  I have noted that when I produce a 
graph with multiple plots (e.g. 2x2 plots on the graphics device) 
where each plot has multiple series and a legend with reasonable 
amounts of text describing the series, the right hand side of the box 
surrounding the legend always seems to be drawn through the legend 
text when I write the output to a postscript file.  The image 
displayed by the x11 device on screen seems fine, with the legend 
box drawn neatly around the legend text.  I have tried altering the 
character size and location of the legend text inside the legend 
function (cex options etc) without success, i.e. although the legend 
box may be drawn neatly on the x11 device on screen, it cuts the 
legend text when the output is written to a postscript file whatever I 
try.

Suggestions?
