[R] postscript window size

[Joshua Wiley]

Hi Robert,

You need to add paper = "special" to the postscript() call.

postscript(file="~/Desktop/figure.ps", horizontal=TRUE,
               width=20, height=10, paper = "special")
plot()
...
plot()
dev.off()

Otherwise it is reset because you are specifying a size outside of
what can fit on the default paper size.

Once that is changed, it should work (tested both ways on Debian :))

Cheers,

Josh
