[TriLUG] SUMMARY: EPS->LaTeX problem

[Andrew Perrin]

Earlier today I posted a problem importing an R graph into a LaTeX file of
seminar class: specifically, the graphic was showing up rotated 180
degrees, along with the rest of the page it was on.

In a real victory for open-source software, I got lots of responses with
three distinct approaches, each of which appears to solve the problem. Try
getting fast, correct help from Microsoft on a Sunday morning!

Here's the summary:

1.) From Brian Flaherty on the Debian list:
Rather than what you have above, what about something along the lines
of this:

\includegraphics[scale=.5,angle=180,keepaspectratio=T]{crime.eps}

and chose the scale that you wish.  

(I actually ended up using:
\includegraphics[scale=.37,angle=270,keepaspectratio=T]{crime.eps}
), which works fine

2.) From numerous helpers on the R-Help list:
use the horizontal=FALSE argument to the postscript() command in R:
 
postscript(..., horzontal = FALSE) 


3.)  You could try dev.copy2eps:

     `dev.copy2eps' is similar to `dev.print' but produces an EPSF
     output file, in portrait orientation (`horizontal = FALSE')

I think you can just use this command, and follow it with
dev.off().  Then I recall you have to rename the resulting output
to crime.eps.
