Thanks David, you are absolutely right, the solution was more simple than I was wondering, sorry for the mistake. I always read the help files and search the older topic of the list before posting, but this time I wasn't able found out a solution for such a simple thing. I got very closer to your suggestion with other tries I've not included in my first mail. But I got an error saying "The image is to large" and gave up. It was only a question of changing the width and height values...
Once again thank you, I'll try harder a next time.

It looks as though postscript() is ignoring your setEPS efforts,,, with perfectly legitimate reason since that is not a defined parameter for that function. It is a separate function. What happens when you use the height= and width= parameters that the postscript help page defines for you? That "worked" for me (on a Mac OS X 10.5.5/ R2.8.0-64bit GUI device). Or you could try executing setEPS before your postscript call. Further questions, as is always the case with output sorts of questions, should include your systemInfo. This is an example in the help page with an added plot. to make the otherwise blank 4 x 3 eps file look more interesting: > postscript("cm_test.eps", width = 4.0, height = 3.0, + horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = "special", + family = "ComputerModern", encoding = "TeXtext.enc") > plot(1:10,10:1) > dev.off() -- David Winsemius Heritage Labs On Nov 15, 2008, at 9:00 AM, Rodrigo Aluizio wrote: > Hi List, here I go again. > > Well I need to save plotted objects as .eps using the postscript() > function, > well I can do that but all resulting object are perfect squared > dimensions > (x = y).
