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

if (FALSE) {
  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", ...)
