Please look it up again.  That's not all you need to get proper EPSF, and
you also need to worry about aspect ratios and pointsizes.  E.g.

     The postscript produced by R is EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
     compatible, and can be included into other documents, e.g. into
     LaTeX, using `\includegraphics{<filename>}'.  For use in this way
     you will probably want to set `horizontal=FALSE, onefile=FALSE,
     paper="special"'.

It is usually *much* easier to use dev.copy2eps() or, on Windows, the
`Save as' on the File menu.

You'll need to set a bounding box if you do that, and quite possibly
rotate the figure.
