R: EPS graphics device

eps {R.devices} | R Documentation

## EPS graphics device

### Description

Device driver for Encapsulated Postscript. This driver is the same as the postscript driver where some arguments have different default values.

### Usage

    eps(file="Rplot%03d.eps", width=7, height=7, horizontal=FALSE, paper="special",
      onefile=FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`file` | Default file name (pattern).
`width, height` | The width and height of the figure.
`horizontal` | If `FALSE`, an horizontal EPS file is created, otherwise a portrait file is created.
`paper` | A `character` string specifying the paper type. Overrides the default of `postscript()`.
`onefile` | Not used.
`...` | Other arguments accepted by `postscript()`.

### Value

A plot device is opened; nothing is returned.

This is just a convenient wrapper for `postscript` with the proper arguments set to generate an EPS file.

It is recommended to use `toEPS`() instead.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
      eps("foo.eps", width=7, height=7)

      # is identical to

      postscript("foo.eps", width=7, height=7, onefile=TRUE, horizontal=FALSE)

      # and

      dev.print(eps, "foo.eps", ...)

      # is identical to

      dev.print(postscript, "foo.eps", onefile=TRUE, horizontal=FALSE, paper="special", ...)
