Let me add two lines:

  postscript("file.ps", width=3, height=3)

> plot(c(-4,4),c(0,4),type="n",xlim=c(-3,3),axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="")

  dev.off()


I think "inter-tick distance" *is* already the same in the postscript
file. 

For the windows() device (I don't know your OS) you can use
  windows(rescale="fit", xpinch=102, ypinch=77)
instead of postscript() but maybe xpinch/ypinch must be adjusted for
your system.
