dev2eps() prints ticks with wrong length! (PR#1933)

[Timur.Elzhov@jinr.ru]

Hello R experts!

I've tried to make single plot, but with changed ticks length,
and then copy them to file by dev.copy2eps(). Here is the code:

   x11 ( , 5, 5)
   par (tcl = +5) 
   plot (0)        # that's ugly plot with great ticks
                   # on the graph viewport.  cool :)
   dev.copy2eps (file = "out.eps")

Hm.. I had a look at "out.ps" and wondered that ticks
look like as they would being set to there *default* value,
"tcl" = -0.5!  =-O

Ok, I tried then to make same thing by slightly different way:

    postscript (file = "out1.eps", onefile = FALSE)
    par (tcl = +5)
    plot (0)
    dev.off ()

Beautiful -- all the ticks have an appropriate length, tcl == +5!

Why?
