Your best option is to generate an EPS file using the postscript()
function.

See ?postscript for more information and take careful note of the
function arguments required to create an EPS file. Principally:

     The postscript produced by R is EPS (_Encapsulated PostScript_)
     compatible, and can be included into other documents, e.g., into
     LaTeX, using '\includegraphics{<filename>}'.  For use in this way
     you will probably want to set 'horizontal = FALSE, onefile =
     FALSE, paper = "special"'.

You will need to specify the 'height' and 'width' arguments to define
your page size.

HTH,
