[R] extra whitespace around EPS files

[Michael D. Sohn]

I'm having difficulty getting rid of extra whitespace above and below an
EPS figure.  For example, if  I generate an output file using these
commands:

> R.test(output='none')

where:

R.test <- function(output=NULL) {
  if (output == 'yes') {
    ps.options(pointsize=10)
    postscript('plot.eps', paper='special', horizontal=FALSE,
onefile=FALSE, height=3, width=6)
  }
  plot(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))
  if (output == 'yes') {
    dev.off()
    ps.options(reset=TRUE)
  }
}


I get a  bunch of extra whitespace above and below the figure.  However,
if I increase the height to say 5inches, the whitespace is gone.
Presumably the extra whitespace was filled up by the figure.  Is there a
way to get rid of the whitespace?  Even editing the bounding box of the
EPS figure didn't really help.

thanks,
Mike
