I have never used the pointsize option. Increasing the height and the
width decreases the relative size of the font so if you scale down the
figure in LaTeX you would get smaller fonts.

as well do I ...

A scale of one does not make any sense since it is 100% or with other
words you could leave that out.

If you want to scale the figure to the text width you could write
\begin{figure}
\includegraphic[width=\textwidth]{sgr6100.pdf }
\end{figure}

btw. I use the postscript device to produce an eps file and dvipdfm to
convert the dvi to pdf

postscript("sgr6100.eps", width = 6, height = 6, horizontal = FALSE,
onefile =T, paper="special")

and then in LaTeX:

\begin{figure}
\includegraphic[width=\textwidth]{sgr6100}
\end{figure}

Have a look at a good LaTeX guide like lshort
http://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf
(e.g. p.73/73)
