[R] (Somewhat) broken EPS files produced

[Paul Hiemstra]

Hi Wartan,

Not really an answer to your specific problem, but you could try to use 
pdf instead of eps, in combination ofcourse with pdflatex. I've never 
had problems with pdf nad Sweave. If you need to use eps, than my reply 
is of no help to you :).

cheers,
Paul
