[R] some EPS rotated in journal preview

[Rainer M Krug]

This is a very late rply to this topic, but I had a similar problem and
I got different results with using ps.options() then using
postscript(...) and the one with ps.options produced the results
expected. The problem were the size of the graph and the paper and the
rotation.

If you want to know details, I have to dig them out.
