[R] probleme with savePlot (to eps)

[Gabor Grothendieck]

If you are able to switch to Windows it does seem to be supported there
on savePlot.

Usage
savePlot(filename = "Rplot",
         type = c("wmf", "emf", "png", "jpg", "jpeg", "bmp",
                  "tif", "tiff", "ps", "eps", "pdf"),
         device = dev.cur(),
         restoreConsole = TRUE)
