Actually, it uses the setting of horizontal give by ps.options.

Hoever, Faheem didn't use dev.print!  If you want to make a postscript
figure for inclusion, please use dev.copy2eps, which was written for that
purpose.

The options on postscript that Faheem used look correct to me, although
I think that with those sizes I would think about reducing the pointsize.

I believe the issue is with the latex.  Currently the preferred options
are packages graphics or graphicx.  Using graphicx, the example worked for
me, and it was included in the right place, but you need to understand
what LaTeX means by that.
