The postscript device behaves strangely - is this possibly a bug? case 1) postscript("gfx-%d.ps",width=8 , height=5, paper="special", horizontal=F, onefile=FALSE); dev.off() The first plot is in "portrait" orientation The second and all the following plots are in "landscape" orientation case 2) postscript("gfx-%d.ps",width=8 , height=5, paper="special", horizontal=T, onefile=FALSE); dev.off() Now, all plots are in "portrait"... So it seems that the orientation of the *first* plot is not affected by horizontal=T/F. Pascal
